KUMBHAKARNA
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Kumbhakarna the wise and strong giant
slept six months at a stretch-as a penchant
when he woke up he ate
all men, till they satiate
otherwise he was good and would enchant
his brother Ravan was fighting Rama
waking up Kumbha was a big drama
thousand.jumbos, walked over him
to wake him at Ravana's whim
' to.the war arena, no ifs, buts, commas'
Kumbha advised Ravan ' this is not right'
'repent, go and stop this senseless fight'
Ravan refused to.listen
Kumbha couldn't wisen
and bravely fought but felled by Rama's might
Kumbha advised his brother to stop war and surrender. Ravana refused to listen. Reluctantly Kumbha entered the war field but waskilled by Rama......a precious write carrying wisdom! Thanks for sharing.....10

I would like to translate this poem
Such mythological characters like Kumbakarna are so very entertaining! I think Rip Van Winkle immortalized by Washington Irving is the counterpart of Kumbhakarna! However you have revived in me the epic tale of Ramayana! Interesting poem!
thank you.
