Chapter - 62– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Ravana approaches Kumbhakarnna who was in deep slumber

 

The huge number of Vanaras and bears surrounded by Lord Rama shed tears watching the Lord in utter misery, suddenly Hanuman appeared before them, spreading hope and joy. Rama embraced Hanuman, expressed his gratitude and affection towards him. The physician of Lanka Sushena applied the herbs on the wound of Lakshman, immediately he rose on his feet. Lord Sri Ramachandra embraced him in tears, the army of Vanaras and bears rejoiced. Hanuman restored Sushena along with his house in Lanka, in the same way, he has brought the Physician to Mount Suvela. Ravana came to know the progress in his enemy’s camp, could not control his jealousy, bet his head in utter distress. He rushed to his younger brother Kumbhakarnna who was in deep slumber, he tried all means to wake him up, Kumbhakarnna woke up from a deep sleep and took a seat that resembled death, he asked Ravana “Oh! Dhashanan, why are you so troubled?” Ravana described all that had happened to him, after abducting Devi Sita and brought to her Lanka, he continued in extreme despair “Dear brother, The Vanars and bears have destroyed a huge part of our army, they have killed mighty warriors like Dhurmukha and Devanthaka/enemies of deities, Naranthaka/slayer of human, Athikaya/enormous sized, Akampana/fearless, Mahodhara/potbellied, who are all unconquerable on the battlefield met their death in the hands of Vanaras and bears.”
