VALMIKI RAMAYANA NOUN

vrm.6.14 Even Devantaka or Narantaka or Atikaya or Atiratha of gigantic proportions, or Akampana who is mighty as an ocean are not capable to withstand against Rama in battle.
vrm.6.68 Hearing that his paternal uncle was killed Devantaka, Narantaka, Trishira and Atikaya were afflicted with sorrow and wept.
vrm.6.69 Hearing the words of Trishira, Devantaka, Narantaka and the energetic Atikaya were rejoiced of war.
vrm.6.69 Trishira, Atikaya, Devantaka, Narantaka, Mahodara and Mahaparshva, under the clout of destiny set out for the battle.
vrm.6.69 Devantaka, holding a glided iron bar, marched ahead, resembling an incarnation of Vishnu holding Mandara mountain in his arms.
vrm.6.70 Seeing Narantaka dying, Devantaka, Trishira and Mahodara the son of Pulastya the foremost of Rakshasas, wept.
vrm.6.70 The strong Devantaka, tormented at his brothers calamity, then taking a terrific iron rod, ran towards Angada.
vrm.6.70 The valiant Angada hurled that large tree with big branches quickly on Devantaka as Indra would a blazing thunderbolt.
vrm.6.70 Then, the enraged Devantaka with a speed, approached Angada, struck him quickly with a club and went off to a distance.
vrm.6.70 Pulling out a tusk of that Elephant in battle, the mighty Angada ran towards Devantaka quickly and struck him.
vrm.6.70 That energetic Devantaka swayed to and fro in disorder, like a tree being tossed up by the wind and emitted plenty of blood with the colour of a lacquer.
vrm.6.70 Thereafter, the strong Devantaka of great splendour, recovering his breath with a great difficulty, then struck Angada violently, by firmly holding an iron rod.
vrm.6.70 Seeing Hanuma rushing with enthusiasm in the battle front, that strong Devantaka ran towards him with his iron rod.
vrm.6.70 Then, Hanuma the foremost of Vanaras, while jumping up, struck on the head of Devantaka rushing upon him with his fist equal to a thunder bolt.
vrm.6.70 That Devantaka, the son of Ravana, with his head crushed and broken by the blow of the fist, with his teeth and eyes coming out and with his tongue hanging down, swiftly fell down dead on the earth.
vrm.6.70 When that Devantaka the mighty chief of Rakshasa warriors and the enemy of Devas was killed in battle, the enraged Trishira showered a terrible rain of sharp pointed arrows on Neelas chest.
vrm.6.70 Seeing Trishira, Mahodara and the invincible Devantaka killed, Matta Mahaparshva was enraged with indignation.
vrm.6.73 Then, those surviving troops of Rakshasas hastily told Ravana that Devantaka, Trishira, Atikaya and other foremost of Rakshasas had been killed.
vrm.6.89 The valiant Nikumbha, the mighty Kumbhakarna, Kumbha, the Rakshasa called Dhumraksha, Jambumali, Mahamali, the highly swift Ashaniprabha, Suptaghna, Yajnakopa, a Rakshasa named Vajradamshtra, Samhadri, Vikata the destroyer of enemies, Tapana, Manda, Praghaasa, Praghasa, Prajangha, Jangha, Agniketu who was difficult to be conquered, Agniketu, the valiant Rashmiketu, vidyujjihva, Dvijihva, Suryashatru, Akampana, Suparshva, Chakramali, Kampana and the mighty Devantaka were also killed.
vrm.6.123 Virupaksha, who was disagreeable to the sight, Mahaparshva, Mahodara, Akampana, Trishiras, Atikaya Devantaka, Narantaka and other mighty Rakshasas were also killed here.
vrm.7.1 By good luck it is, O Rama, that those highly powerful night rangers, Trisiras and Atikaya and Devantaka and Narantaka, have been slain by thee.
vrm.7.1 Hearing the speech of the ascetics of sacred souls, Rama, coming under the influence of a mighty wonder, said with joined hands, "Ye worshipful ones wherefore, passing by those exceedingly powerful ones Kumbhakarna and the night ranger, Ravana do ye praise Ravana s son ?Wherefore, passing by Mahodara, and Prahasta, and the Rakshasa Virupaksha and Matta, and Unmatta, and the irrepressible Devantaka and Narantaka redoubtable heroes all do ye extoll Ravana s son ?And wherefore, passing by Atikaya and Trisiras and Dhumraksha, that night ranger all endowed with exceeding prowess, do ye extoll Ravana s son ?What was his prowess ?And what his strength ?And what his might ?And by virtue of what cause did he surpass Ravana ?If I can well hear the same, do ye tell it me.
vrm.7.32 And encircled by Maricha, Prahasta, Mahaparshva, Mahodara, Akampana, Nikumbha, Suka, Sarana, Sanghrada, Dhumaketu, Mahadangstra, Gathodara, Jambumali, Mahahrada, Virupaksha, Suptaghna, Yajnakopa, Durmukha, Khara, Trisira, Karaveeraksha, Suryashatru Mahakaya, Atikaya, Devantaka, Narantaka, all those gifted with great prowess, there entered the battle field, the highly powerful Sumalin, Ravana s maternal grandfather.
