Chapter – 170– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Tapasya of the Three brothers – Lord Bhrama’s unique boon to Ravana and Kumbhakarnna

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “ Oh! Mune, King Prathapbhanu and Arimardhana and Minister Dharmaruchi  took birth as Ravana, Kumbhakarnna and Vibheeshana respectively, in the illustrious clan of Pulasthya, due to the curse of twice-born they have possessed the demonic nature, were the embodiment of sins. Oh! Mune, these three brothers undertook extreme penance and pleased Lord Bhrama. Ravana had great confidence in his might, never expected to be killed by humans or animals, he had no respect for the humans or Vanaras, clasped the feet of Lord Bhrama, and appealed to him “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Jagadheesha, kindly provide me a unique boon, I should get killed only by the Vanaras or humans.” Lord Bhrama replied “Let it be. I am pleased with your penance.” The next, Bhrama approached Kumbhakarnna who was conducting severe Tapasya, his appalling gigantic form forced him to think “If this demon of the gigantic body begins to consume meals on a regular basis, the whole world would get emptied in no time.”, soon Lord Bhrama remembered Devi Sarada to influence the mind of Kumbhakarnna, eventually,  the demon forgot to ask for a fruitful boon, instead asked for six months deep sleep.”
