STORY: Ramayana

CHARACTER: Kumbhakarna

Kumbhakarna is a well-known rakshasa and a younger brother of Ravana from the famous Hindu epic Ramayana. Despite his gigantic size and great appetite, he is described as a good character and a great warrior in ancient Hindu Mythology, although he killed and ate many monkeys only to show his power during the war depicted in Ramayana.

He was considered pious and intelligent. He was also an unchallenged warrior as in a battle with Indra, the king of gods, Kumbhakarana was the one who won.

Along with his brothers, Ravana and Vibhishana, Kumbhkarna performed a major yajna and penance to please Lord Brahma. Indra was worried and jealous of his strength. Indra went to Lord Brahma before the time for Kumbharana's boon came.

And when Kumbhkarna asked for his boon, his tongue was tied by goddess Saraswati, who acted on Indra's request, instead of asking Indraasana (throne of Indra), he asked for Nidraasana (bed for sleeping). It is also said he intended to ask for Nirdevatvam (annihilation of Devas) and instead asked for Nidravatvam (sleep). His request was instantly granted. However, his brother Ravana requested Brahma to undo this curse in the form of a boon and Lord Brahma reduced it that he will sleep for six months and after he will sleep again as soon as his appetite goes down.
