Image title
Rāvaṇa has a brother, the giant Kumbhakarṇa, whom Brahmā had cursed to spend most of his life asleep. Rāvaṇa decides that he needs him to fight Rāma and sends an army of his demons to waken the monster. The demons try to rouse the prostrate Kumbhakarṇa by making the most enormous din, and when that fails, they hit him with weapons and clubs and shout in his ear. Women play musical instruments, a donkey brays and elephants trumpet. Piles of food, dead animals and monkeys, and jars of liquid, blood and wine and fat, lie waiting his wakening.
