Kumbhakarna sallied forth into the battlefield. The vanaras were terrified when they saw the huge monstrous form advancing towards them.

The mighty rakshasa killed hundreds of vanaras and spread panic in their ranks. Lakshmana tried to stop his progress but in vain.

Kumbhakarna tore a peak off a mountain and hurled it at Rama. But even while the huge boulder was in the air, Rama reduced it to rubble with a shower of arrows. Rama aimed a powerful astra and Kumbhakarna sank to the ground for the sleep of the dead.
