Ramayana_VOLUME V with index

Kumbhakarna
Kumbhakarna attains Liberation:
The Rakshasa attained liberation without performing any
Sadhana or Japa (Recitation of Name) or Thapas (Austerity for
Sense Control and Mind Control). While alive, he shone like an
incomparable hero on the battlefield; dead, he attained the
highest state of Mergence with God. Rama stood on the field,
with a sprinkling of sweat drops on his lotus face. His body
revealed a few drops of Kumbhakarna’s blood that had fallen on
it during the fight. It was the hour of dusk. Both armies had had a
fierce hot day of ferocious fighting. They retired into their
camps. The Grace bestowed by Rama reinforced the spirits of the
Vanaras. Like fire fed by dry grass, the flame of their ardour rose
high. (RKRV Part II p. 222-227)
