Struck by the mountain peak, the king of monkeys fell unconscious on the battlefield; seeing him fallen senseless on the ground, the demons roared exultantly in the fight.
M N Dutt
Thereat, agonised by the shaft, that hero, with his senses bewildered, dropped down to the ground with shrieks. And seeing him down on the earth bereft of his senses, the Yātudhānas were filled with rejoicing.

Approaching that king of monkeys, Sugrīva, who possessed extraordinary and terrible prowess, Kumbhakarṇa seized him and carried him away, just as a violent wind carries off a cloud.

Then Kumbhakarna coming to the wonderfully mighty master of monkeys, took him up and stole away from the field, as a violent gust of wind steal away a patch of cloud.
