from Indian Myth and Legend by Donald. A Mackenzie
- Plot: The desperate rakshashas are trying to awaken the mightiest demon of all, Kumbhakarna. Men danced and shouted and blew trumpets right by the demon but he never woke. He was ran over by elephants but never woke. But when he was caressed by women, he suddenly woke up and screamed in rage about why we was woken up so early. He was informed about the situation by the rakshashas and he became ready to devour the apes. When the apes saw him, they are ran away in panic but Sugriva rallied them all back and they began to fight. Kumbhakarna beat Hanuman, and devoured the other apes. However, he was beheaded in the end by Rama.
- For some reason, the fact that Kumbhakarna slept a lot reminds me of a bear in hibernation. I could write a story as Kumbhakarna depicted as a bear and the rakshasas are evil humans who try to use him in a war against the good humans.
