Verse 58.44

तस्य युद्धाभिकामस्य मृधे मुसलयोधिनः॥ प्रहस्तस्य शिलां नीलो मूर्ध्नि तूर्णमपातयत्। नीलेन कपिमुख्येन विमुक्ता महती शिला।। बिभेद बहुधा घोरा प्रहस्तस्य शिरस्तदा ॥

In the encounter Nila at once let that crag alight right on the head of Prahasta, eager for encounter and fighting with the mace. And hurled by that foremost of monkeys, that huge and terrific crag then shattered Prahasta's head in pieces.
