In the events of the Ramayana, the incident of Kumbhakarna's slaying holds a special place during the battle between Rama and Ravana. Kumbhakarna was Ravana's younger brother, who slept for six months and stayed awake for six months. He had received a boon from Lord Brahma that he would sleep for six months and be awake for six months, and when he was awake, he would consume a large amount of food at once. It was very difficult to wake him up when he was sleeping. During the battle, when Ravana saw all his warriors losing, he decided to wake up Kumbhakarna. Ravana's servants blew conch shells, beat large drums, and poured a lot of water on him to wake him up. Finally, Kumbhakarna woke up and then ate a massive amount of food.
Kumbhakarna reached the battlefield and caused significant damage to the monkey army with his immense strength. He also fought with the brave Hanuman.
Lord Rama challenged Kumbhakarna to battle. Kumbhakarna fought with all his might, but Lord Rama, with his divine power and bow and arrows, confronted Kumbhakarna. Lord Rama cut off Kumbhakarna's arms and legs with his arrows. Finally, he severed Kumbhakarna's head from his body with a divine arrow. Thus, Kumbhakarna was slain, and a wave of joy spread through the monkey army.
The story of Kumbhakarna's slaying teaches us that truth and righteousness always prevail. Lord Rama defeated a gigantic demon like Kumbhakarna with his wisdom and patience.
