Chapter - 71– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – Rama’s battle against the demon Kumbhakarnna

 

Kumbhakarnna produced a boisterous yell withered in pain, rushed all over the battlefield with the mouth wide open.  The deities and Siddhas on the sky alarmed watching the vicious demon, the compassionate Lord saw the deities and Mahatmas are extremely frightful, he stretched his bow up to ears and shot several thousands of arrows on the wide-opened mouth of the demon, and completely shut the cave-like the mouth, still, did not stop chasing the Vanaras and bears on the battlefield Kumbhakarnna resembled death. Rama was infuriated shot a powerful arrow aiming at Kumbhakarnna’s head, that severed his head from the body and hurled in front of Dhashanan who could not control the grief watching the bodiless head of his brother, like the serpent lost its gem on the forehead. The bodiless head of Kumbhakarnna sprinted all over the battlefield, the Earth quivered beneath it, Lord Rama shot an arrow on the body and cut into two, that fell on the top of demons, the Vanaras and bears on the battlefield and crushed them on the ground as if the mountains dropped from the heaven.  The soul of Kumbhakarnna assumed a brilliant light and darted to the mouth of supreme Lord, while the deities and Siddhas witnessed the miraculous sight sung in praise of the Lord, flowers showered in amazement, the sounds of auspicious instruments reverberated on the sky, eventually all the deities and noble souls returned to their respective abodes. Devarishi Narada eulogized the valor of supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra and appealed to the Lord while the Lord of Raghu shone amidst the battleground “Oh! Prabho, the time has arrived to deliver Dhashanan to death”.
