2.4
kaṅkaḥ kailāsaśikhare vidyudrūpeti viśrutam /
dadarśāmbujapatrākṣaṃ rākṣasaṃ dhanadānugam //
On the top of Kailāsa, Kanka saw the Rākṣasa famed as Vidyudrūpa, whose eyes were like a lotus leaf, a follower of Kuvera, who was busied in a banquet, clad with strings of bright garlands, sitting in company with his wife on a beautiful clean rocky seat. Then the Rākṣasa, immediately he was seen by Kanka, filled with anger, said, “Wherefore hast thou come hither, O vilest of the egg-bom? Why hast thou approached me when I am in company with my wife? Such is not the rule of the wise in matters that must be accomplished in secret.”
