In the Aranya Kanda , Ravana asks his sister Surpanaka,
‘Who is this Rama,who could Kill Kara, Dhushana single-handedly?
What are his weapons?
”
kaH ca raamaH katham viiryaH kim ruupaH kim paraakramaH |
kim artham daNDakaaraNyam praviSTaH ca sudustaram || 3-34-2
2. raamaH kaH= Rama, who is; katham viiryaH= what, is his calibre; kim ruupaH= of what, mien; kim paraakramaH= what, is his bravery; su dustaram= highly, inscrutable; daNDaka araNyam= Dandaka forest; kim artham praviSTaH= what, for reason, he entered.
“Who is Rama? How brave he is? Of what mien and what calibre he is? And for what reason he entered the highly inscrutable Dandaka forest? [1-34-2]
‘Why this Rama has to come this far to Dandaka instead of loitering somewhere near Himalayas? Has he come purposefully with any revenge against us, the demons, or is it a pleasure-trip? Why should he leave his ancestral kingdom and enter Dandaka, a stronghold of demons?’ This is the real worry of Ravana. kena ca k˜raõena kula parampara ˜gatam pr˜jyam r˜jyam parityajya nikhila niþ˜cara v˜so asmin deþe sam˜gata× – dk Ravana might be unaware that Dandaka forest also belongs to Ikshvaku-s as Kishkindha belonged to them, as said by Rama at the time of eliminating of Vali.
Then on seeing Shurpanakha speaking bitter words against him in the presence of ministers, Ravana is verily infuriated and questioned her.
“Who is this Rama? How is his bravery? And of what mien and what might he is? And for what reason he entered the highly inscrutable Dandaka forest?
Comment: ‘Why this Rama has to come this far to Dandaka instead of loitering somewhere near Himalayas? Has he come purposefully with any revenge against us, the demons or is it a pleasure trip?’ is the real worry of Ravana. kena ca k˜raõena kula parampara ˜gatam pr˜jyam r˜jyam parityajya nikhila niþ˜cara v˜so asmin deþe sam˜gata× – dk ‘why should he leave his ancestral kingdom and enter Dandaka, a stronghold of demons?’ Ravana might be unaware that Dandaka also belongs to Ikshvaku-s as Kishkindha belonged to them, as said by Rama at the time of eliminating of Vali.
“What is the weapon of that Rama by whom these many demons are killed in war, also the unkillable Khara is killed and Dushana and Trishira likewise?
Comment: This can be simple question ‘What is his weapon?’ without telling round about as above. But Ravana is weighing arsenal balance since he is self-content a giant-robot namely Kumbhakarna, and one brave and all-trickster son Indrajit with his own ICBMs, ASMs and ASMs, plus his own invincibility. Thereby he said to be puzzled and asking: k˜ni k˜ni ca ˜yudh˜ni khara mukha niþ˜cra pr˜õa h˜ni kar˜õi – dk ‘you said that Rama caused this havoc single-handedly, then he should have used various and numerous weapons by which missiles are flung… because common sense does not permit any belief that one bow can dart numerous arrows or missile, that too when wielded by a single human…’..’
-Aranya Kanda, Sraga 34, Sloka 2.
To take the view that Kumbhakarna was Robot is not sensible as he had two sons , Kumbha and Nikumbha.
Now consider these lies spoke by Vibhishana on Kumbhakarna adavncing in the Battle field.
“Sage Valmiki writes the thoughts of Brahma when he saw Kumbhakarna :
ध्रुवम् लोकविनाशाय पौलस्त्येनासि निर्मितः |
तस्मात्त्वमद्यप्रभृति मृतकल्पः शयिष्यसे || ६-६१-२४
(dhruvam loka vinaashaaya paulastyena asi nirmitaH |
tasmaat tvam adya prabhR^iti mR^ita kalpaH shayiSyase || )
Translation : It is sure that you were created by visravasa for the destroyal of people. On that account, you will be sleeping apparently dead from now onwards.
Here, he clearly uses the word ‘nirmitaH‘, which means ‘built/created‘ by Visravasa, who was Ravana’s father.
When Kumbhakarna was approaching Vanara Army and crushing them under his toes, they started to runway in fear.
Then Ravana’s brother Vibhishana reveal the truth of Kumbhakarna to Rama and his army.
उच्यन्ताम् वानराः सर्वे यन्त्रमेतत्समुच्छ्रितम् |
इति विज्ञाय हरयो भविष्यन्तीह निर्भयाः || ६-६१-३३
(uchyantaam vaanaraaH sarvE yantram etatsamuchchhritam |
iti vijNaaya harayO bhaviSyantiiha nirbhayaaH ||)
Translation : Let all the monkeys be told that it is a kind of machine, advancing forward. By knowing this, they can become fearless by now.
प्रक्षिप्ताः कुम्भकर्णेन वक्त्रे पातालसंनिभे |
नासापुटाभ्यां निर्जग्मुः कर्णाभ्याम् चैव वानराः || ६-६७-३६
(prakSiptaaH kumbhakarNena vaktre paataala samnibhe |
naasaapuTaabhyaam nirjagmuH karNaabhyaam chaiva vaanaraaH ||)
Translation : Hurled by Kumbhakarna in his mouth which was looking like a hole in the earth, the monkeys again came out from his nostrils and ears.
How can person enter into a gigantic person’s mouth and come out of nostrils and ears, unless the giant is a machine with no internal anatomy ?
But in same Ramayana, it was clearly stated that Kumbhakarna was married with Vajramala and had kumbh, nikumbh as sons.
These sons were killed by Hanuman.
So, Kumbhakarna must be an alive brother of Ravana, who operated a giant robot from its inside (like the AMP suit in Avatar movie).
So the robot was known with the same name of its operator.
Infact Kumbha-Karna means the one who has pot(kumbha) like ears(karna).
Rama used Vayuvyastra (a wind forced missile) to cut-off Kumbhakarna’s arm and later chopped its head.
When Kumbhakarna was shot down by arrows of Rama, he died and the robot which had nobody to control it, fell into the sea.
Upon knowing the death of Kumbhakarna, Ravana and his sons wept.
