Ramayana_VOLUME V with index

Kumbhakarna
Whether he is adorned by ornaments and necklaces,
It is by dint of devotion that he would find fulfilment.(SSB
1996 p.74)
LANKA ON FIRE:
Ravana …….ordered that Hanuman’s tail be set on fire after
wrapping it with clothes dipped in oil. …. The tail of Hanuman
was set on fire. Hanuman 78 did not keep quiet. With the burning
tail, he jumped from one building to the other and thus set the
entire city on fire. (SSS Vol.42 p.116-117)
The wife of Kumbhakarna, the younger brother of Ravana, ran
forward with her prayer. “Oh, Messenger of Rama! My husband
is submerged in deep sleep. Do not set fire to our home. Save my
husband from being burnt to death.”
The house where Kumbhakarna80 was asleep, and the house of
that super most among devotees, Vibhishana were the only two
that were not erased by the fire. (RKRV Part II p.153/154)
Suddenly, Kumbhakarna, immersed in sleep for months, and
who was therefore unaware of the conflagration at the time of the
visit of Hanuman, emerged from his sleep and rushed into the
Audience Hall. He shouted at his elder brother (Ravana), “Hello!
You boasted that there is no hero equal to you in all the three
worlds. You challenged the worlds and dared anyone to face you.
Now I hear a tiny little monkey entered the City and burnt it to
78
