Through Krauncha's hill a passage broke.[977]

Fierce was the blow, and deep and wide

The rent: with crimson torrents dyed,

Hanúmán, maddened by the pain,

Roared like a cloud that brings the rain,

And from each Rákshas throat rang out

Loud clamour and exultant shout.

Then Níla hurled with mustered might

The fragment of a mountain height;

Nor would the rock the foe have missed,
