Kumbhakarnaas curse

Raavana ordere his servants to bring him with all due respect.Demons went to Kumbhakarna and told him that the king wanted to meet him.Kumbhakarna got up from his bed,washed his face,bathed and decorated himslef with ornaments and garlands.He drank two thousand pots of alcohol and started to meet his brother.Earth trembled with the force of his walking.Civilians saluted him.Vaanaraas saw him from out side Lanka.They were afraid seeing the huge body of Kumbhakarna.They ran in all directions.Some came to Raama for security.Sree Raama was also astonished seeing that huge creature.He enquired Vibheeshana as to who he was.Vibheeshana!who is this mountain like creature.He is like a huge cluster of clouds imbedded by lightning here and there.I never saw such a huge demon earlier in my life.See,how vaanaraas are running away from him! Vibheeshana replied him in detail.Hey lord!He is called Kumbhakarna.Deities and demons were equally affected by Kumbhakarna.They shivered in their boots,when Kumbhakarna attacked them with his spear.Other demons secured more power because of the boon he got.Originally Kumbhakarna has huge strength.As soon as he was born,he ate many living beings due to severe hunger.People went to Indra and sought his assistance.Indra,then attacked him with his Vajraayudham.Kumbhakarna was affected for a very little time by that Vajraayudham but regained immediately and roared like a lion.He then tore the tusk of Indras elephant,Airaavatham and hit him on his chest.Deities,sages and civilians were saddened and went to Brahma for rescue.We are unable to bear the atrocities of Kumbhakarna!He is eating away all the human beings.He is kidnapping married women from their husbands.If he continues in this manner,soon this would be devoid of human race.You have to make some way out from this catastrophe.Hearing Indraas pleas,Brahma called Kumbhakarna. even he was afraid looking at him.He regained his confidence and cursed him.It seems that Poulasthyudu brought you into this world with the sole intention of destroying this world.So,from now on wards you would be sleeping like a log all the time.Raavana requested Brahma like this.Hey Brahma!Kumbhakarna is none other than your great grand son!Is it right on your part to curse him like this?You can not go back on your words.But fix a time span for his sleep.Brahma then granted him that Kumbhakarna would be awake one day for every six months of sleep. Raavana was afraid of your valor and woke Kumbhakarna from his deep sleep.All vaanaraas and afraid and running away from him.Then how can they fight him?We have to say that he is not a demon but a machine which has been lifted up.So,you need not be afraid!Raama called Neeludu and directed him to restrain the armies from running away. he has to see that armies should surround all the four gates of the city.Make ready boulders and trees sufficient to sustain the entire war period.
