[Canto 7, Ch. 10]
TRANSLATION
Being cursed by the brāhmaṇas, the same two associates took birth again as Kumbhakarṇa and the ten-headed Rāvaṇa. These two Rākṣasas were killed by Lord Rāmacandra's extraordinary power.
TEXT 37
श्यानौ युधि निर्भिन्नहृदयौ रामशायकैः । तश्चित्तौ जहतुर्देहं यथा प्राक्तनजन्मनि ॥३७॥
śayānau yudhi nirbhinna- hṛdayau rāma-śāyakaiḥ tac-cittau jahatur dehaṁ yathā prāktana-janmani
śayānau—being laid down; yudhi—on the battlefield; nirbhinna—being pierced; hṛdayau—in the core of the heart; rāma-śāyakaiḥ—by the arrows of Lord Rāmacandra; tat-cittau—thinking or being conscious of Lord Rāmacandra; jahatuḥ—gave up; deham—body; yathā—even as; prāktana-janmani—in their previous births.
TRANSLATION
Pierced by the arrows of Lord Rāmacandra, both Kumbhakarṇa and Rāvaṇa lay on the ground and left their bodies, fully absorbed in thought of the Lord, just as they had in their previous births as Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu.
