Ram Vijaya-Chapter 39.

Kumbhakarna reached the palace of Ravana and stood before him, when the latter said to him, " Brother ? I am now in difficulty. I have brought Sita, the wife of Rama, as I wish to marry her. In order to recover her from me Rama has come here with a great number of monkey-soldiers. They have killed good many demons and destroyed nearly the whole of Lanka. It is now your duty to help me.

" It is not good that you have deprived the help less woman, Sita, of her husband," replied Kumbhakarna. "It is a great sin that one should covet another s wife. You ought to have restored her to her husband. But as you have brought her here at the risk of your life, have you fulfilled your wishes ? If not, transform yourself into Rama and go to her.

" That cannot be done," replied Ravana, " because if I become Rama, all his virtues will reign iu ine and prevent me from doing any wicked act. Unless you kill Rurna, I shall not be able to fulfill my wishes."

" As you are my brother," said Kumbhakarna, " it is my duty to help you. Have courage. I shall devour all the monkeys in a moment and kill Rama and Lakshuman.

Taking his leave of Ravana, Kumbhakarna attacked the army of Rama, when four monkeys, including Sharab and Govaksha flnng mountains and rocks at the demon which the latter broke with blows and threw them into the sky. Kumbhakarna devoured a great number of the monkeys but a few of them escaped through his ears and nostrils.

Sugriva then threw a mountain at him which the latter broke with one blow and, having held him by his feet, turned him round like a reel. He was about to dash the monkey to pieces, when the latter escaped from his clutches and jumped into the sky. But he, having stretched out his hands in the sky, brought him down and put him into his anus.

Sugriva was disgusted at the stink of his arms and, having cut off his nose and ears, once more escaped and jumped into the sky of which Kumbhakarna knew nothing. He was profusely bled and altogether disfigured. Having thought that he was successful in the war, he walked towards the palace of his brother, Ravana.

The demon-king was ashamed to behold him in that state ; and in order to avoid an interview with him he ordered his barber to show him a mirror. The barber accordingly held a mirror before the demon in which he beheld hii disfigured face and immediately returned in a great rage to renew the fight with the monkeys. Desperate as he was, he devoured many of the monkeys and attempted to rush upon Rama, when Lakshuman let off arrows at him, which he broke with his hands.
