Sanskrit Original
ढाहे महीधर सिखर कोटिन्ह बिबिध बिधि गोला चले। घहरात जिमि पबिपात गर्जत जनु प्रलय के बादले।। मर्कट बिकट भट जुटत कटत न लटत तन जर्जर भए। गहि सैल तेहि गढ़ पर चलावहिं जहँ सो तहँ निसिचर हए।।
ḍhāhē mahīdhara sikhara kōṭinha bibidha bidhi gōlā calē. ghaharāta jimi pabipāta garjata janu pralaya kē bādalē.. markaṭa bikaṭa bhaṭa juṭata kaṭata na laṭata tana jarjara bhaē. gahi saila tēhi gaḍha para calāvahiṃ jahaom sō tahaom nisicara haē..
The demons hurled mountain-peaks in myriads and fired bomb-shells of every description, which came roaring like a crash of thunder; while the contending warriors roared like the clouds on the day of universal destruction. Fierce monkey warriors combated with their adversaries and had their bodies severely wounded and badly battered; yet they languished not. Seizing rocks, they hurled them against the fort; and the demons fell to them wherever they stood.
