Kumbhakarna

Mbh.3.203.10445	And, O thou best of the Bharatas, when all those sons of king Kuvalaswa were consumed by the fire emitted by the Asura in wrath, the monarch, possessed as he was of mighty energy, then approached the Danava who, like unto a second Kumbhakarna of mighty energy, had come to the encounter after waking from his slumbers.
Mbh.3.273.13297	Then the great Grandsire addressed Kumbhakarna as before.
Mbh.3.278.13625	I have seen Kumbhakarna and others, perfectly naked and with crowns shaven, decked with red wreaths and unguents, and running towards the southern direction.
Mbh.3.284.13913	And hearing from them that Prahasta and that mighty archer Dhumraksha, had both, with their armies, been slain by the powerful monkeys, Ravana drew a deep sigh and springing up from his excellent seat, said, the time is come for Kumbhakarna to act,
Mbh.3.284.13914	And having said this, he awake, by means of various loud-sounding instruments, his brother Kumbhakarna from his deep and prolonged slumbers.
Mbh.3.284.13915	And having awaked him with great efforts, the Rakshasa king, still afflicted with anxiety, addressed the mighty Kumbhakarna and said unto him when seated at his ease on his bed, having perfectly recovered consciousness and self-possession, these words, Thou, indeed, art happy, O Kumbhakarna, that canst enjoy profound and undisturbed repose, unconscious of the terrible calamity that hath overtaken us!
Mbh.3.284.13923	And having said this unto the mighty Kumbhakarna.
Mbh.3.284.13925	And accepting his advice, those two warlike brothers of Dushana quickly marched out of the city, preceded by Kumbhakarna
Mbh.3.285.13926	SECTION CCLXXXV Markandeya said, Then Kumbhakarna set out from the city, accompanied by his followers.
Mbh.3.285.13934	And attacked by them thus, Kumbhakarna only laughed at them and began to eat them up.
Mbh.3.285.13937	And hearing the screams of those monkey-leaders, Sugriva boldly advanced towards Kumbhakarna.
Mbh.3.285.13939	And though the high-souled Sugriva always prompt in action broke that Sala tree on the head of Kumbhakarna, he failed to make any impression on that Rakshasa.
Mbh.3.285.13940	And then, as if roused from his torpor by that blow, Kumbhakarna stretching forth his arms seized Sugriva by main force.
Mbh.3.285.13941	And beholding Sugriva dragged away by the Rakshasa, the heroic son of Sumitra, that delighter of his friends, rushed towards Kumbhakarna.
Mbh.3.285.13942	And that slayer of hostile heroes, Lakshmana, advancing towards Kumbhakarna, discharged at him an impetuous and mighty arrow furnished with golden wings.
Mbh.3.285.13944	Kumbhakarna then, having his breast thus bored through, released the king of monkeys.
Mbh.3.285.13945	And taking up a huge mass of stone as his weapon, the mighty warrior Kumbhakarna then rushed towards the son of Sumitra, aiming it at him.
Mbh.3.285.13952	And beholding Kumbhakarna endued with great activity and resembling the Asura Vritra himself, deprived of life and prostrated on the field of battle, the Rakshasa warriors fled in fear.
Mbh.3.286.13964	SECTION CCLXXXVI Markandeya said, Learning that Kumbhakarna had with his followers, fallen in battle as also that great warrior Prahasta, and Dhumraksha too of mighty energy, Ravana then addressed his heroic son Indrajit saying, O slayer of foes, slay thou in battle Rama and Sugriva and Lakshmana.
Mbh.3.286.13969	That cessation of hostilities which could not be brought about by either Prahasta or Kumbhakarna in battle, be it thine, O mighty-armed one, to bring about!
