He (Kumbhakaran), who was endowed with indomitable prowess, a tiger among Rakshasas, was sleepy and inebriated, marched along the splendid royal path.

Then, Kumbhakarna, who is very difficult to win over, walked violently surrounded by Rakshasas, covered with showers of flowers from houses.

He saw the vast abode of the king of Rakshasas, with lattice work of gold and looking bright like the morning Sun

He saw entering the abode of Lord of Rakshasas like the Sun penetrating into a mass of clouds, from a distance his elder brother seated on the throne just like Indra saw the SelfBorn Brahma on the throne.

While Kumbhakarna accompanied by troops of Rakshasas, was taking strides to his brother's abode, even the earth was shaken.

Having gone to his brother's residence, stepping into the enclosure, he saw his brother seated in a perturbed state.

The ten headed Ravana seeing Kumbhakarna, was delighted and got up quickly and made him come close to him.

Getting up from his seat, Kumbhakarna endowed with extraordinary might bowed down and clasped his brother's feet and asked him, what task he had to do?

Getting up from his seat Ravana embraced and greeted Kumbhakarna. So also, he duly rejoiced and occupied the seat.

Mighty Kumbhakarna, duly took the seat. Enraged Ravana with blood shot eyes spoke these words.

"O King! For what purpose have I been awakened by you? Whom are you fearing? I wish to know who is to be ceased in life?"

Kumbhakarna, was overcome with anger, and asked his brother Ravana, who was seated and rolling his eyes in anger.

"Oh! Kumbhakarna of extraordinary prowess! You were asleep for long happily. You do not know that I am afraid of Rama."

"Rama, the son of Dasaratha accompanied by Sugriva, crossed the ocean with an army that was cutting our roots."

" Alas! You see how the Vanaras, arriving at Lanka, crossing the bridge have done away with groves and gardens."

"Of the Rakshasas, the chiefs have been killed in war by Vanaras. But I did not see even one Vanara to have been killed in war. Vanaras have not failed to succeed in war."

"Of the Rakshasas, the chiefs have been killed in war by Vanaras. But I did not see even one Vanara to have been killed in war. Vanaras have not failed to succeed in war."

"Mighty strong I am, but such is the fear that has been created in me from them. You have been awakened, to destroy them. Reported Ravana."

" All resources of mine are exhausted. These children and aged are only left in Lanka city, knowing that you will save the city of Lanka."

"O broad shouldered brother! Do this task which is difficult for others. O Scourge of enemies! I have not asked you before for such a task."

"O Bull among Rakshasas! Being my brother, do this for me. I always have affection for you. Considering that you have encountered war with Devas and Asuras and won both Devas and Asuras, do this help."

"O Brother of fierce valour! Get up. I have not seen anyone stronger than you among all beings."

"You are a lover of wars. You are a lover of relations. You are always my dear well wisher. O self glorious one! Do this task of throwing out the torrent army just like wind throws rainy clouds." ।। इत्यार्षेवाल्मीकीयेश्रीमद्रामायणेआदिकाव्येयुद्धकाण्डेष्टितमस्सर्गः ।। This is the end of the sixty second sarga of Yuddha Kanda of the first epic the holy Ramayana composed by sage Valmiki.
