Nikumbha Killed
Seeing his brother killed thus by Sugreeva, Nikumbha starred at him as though he will burn him with his Eyes. Then decorated with Garlands, Necklaces, with Perfumes etc applied and with a Long Pariham (Javelin type Mace) having a handle to grip for 5 fingers. It had Golden bandings and embedded with pearls, made of Vajhra indestructible metal alloy. Was ominous looking like Yama Dhanda ( the Staff with which every Living being at the end of their Life is killed and taken) and alleiviating the fear of Rakhsasaas and egging them on to enthusiasm was swirling that weapon like the Indra’s Mast, opening his Large Mouth, he scared the wits out of the surrounding directions roared. Due to the Golden Necklaces worn, with the Golden shoulder bands, and the Ear lobe ring balls also due to his Pariham dazzling with that weapon he sheared the wind space swirling it across, like the Falmeswith out smoke Nikhumbha shone. The wind Momentum generated by the Swirling of Pariham looked as though the entire Solar system was in orbit due to its cerntripetal force.Thus Nikhumba started for demolishing the Vanaras.Rakshasaas and Vanaras were too numbed by sheer fright.” When great Strong Prajhanga and others have been killed why have you come to war?” Rakshasaas were fearing thus Nikhumba may chide them, Only Anjaneya bared his Chest and challenged him. Nikhmbha who had strong Arms hit the Strong Maruthi with the Pariham (Javelin type Mace) with full force on His Chest. That broke once it hit his Vajhra (Indestructible) Chest and fell down as the burning emebers were falling from the sky. Like the Earth shakes during Earth Quake Anjaneya was a bit shaken.Then folding his fingers clenched his Fist and Punched Nikumbha in his Chest.That Rakshasaas Shoulder torn and the blood flowed profusely with Lightning like sparks.
Nikhumbha was totally shaken and regained composure caught hold of Hanuman in a Vice like grip. Seeking that Lankans “Strong man Hanuman has been caught by our Nikumbha”- roared hoarsely. Seeing him Lifting and carrying Him, Hanuman with his Clenched Fist hit him hard and extricated himself and jumped into the Earth. Then he grounded him and rubbed him again and again in the Earth; Nikumbha with great acceleration climbed into the Sky and came back with a force; Hanuman caught hold of Nikumbha’s Head in a Vice like Grip and twisted his head and Broke it. Witnessing Nikumbha being slained in a combat Duel Vanaras roared like Lion victoriously which made all directions tremble; earth reverberated; sky exploded; Rakshasaa Army frightened. (Slokas 25)
