रघुनन्दन O Rama, अशनिकल्पै: similar to thunderbolt, शूलै: with lances, सुदारुणै: which were dreadful, हलैश्च with plough, भिद्यमाना being broken, वसुमती earth, ननाद emanated sounds.

M N Dutt

O Rāma. Then, they each fell to delving the bowels of the earth for the space of a Yojana in length and breadth, with their hands resembling thunder-bolts in feel, and with darts like to thunder-bolts, and with gigantic ploughshares. And being thus rived, the earth, O descendant of Raghu, began to send forth loud cries.

Summary

O Son of the Raghus (Rama) dreadful sounds emanated while the earth was being broken open by ploughs and lances similar to thunderbolt.
