I want to add something about Kumbhkaran from Valmiki Ramayan.

During war, when Kumbhkaran was killing vanaras, then Vibhishan comes in front of Kumbhkaran.

Now obviously Kumbhkaran was far stronger than Vibhishan. If they fought, then, because of his loyalty towards his elder brother, Kumbhkaran would have been forces to kill Vibhishan.

But, because of his affection towards his younger brother, Kumbhkaran did not want to kill Vibhishan.

Therefore he talked to Vibhishan very affectionately. He first praised Vibhishan for his decision. He said that the rakshas race would continue only because of Vibhishan. Then he explained to Vibhishan how Kumbhkaran would be forced to kill Vibhishan if they fought. He also said that he did not want to kill him. So he advised that Vibhishan should not come in front of Kumbhkaran.

Then Vibhishan, with tears in his eyes, went away from Kumbhkaran.

Restored to confidence by Angada, all the monkeys return to the battle-field. Dvivida, a leader of the monkeys hurls a mountain towards Kumbhakarna, but it misses the target and falls on horses, elephants and chariots of the enemy. Dvivida hurls another mountain and some demons are killed. Hanuma strikes Kumbhakarna with a large mountain-peak and injures him severely. In reply, Kumbhakarna strikes on Hanuma's chest with his spike. Then, Kumbhakarna strikes other monkey-chiefs who attack him. Thousands of monkeys then ascend Kumbhakarna's body and encounters him with their nails, fists, teeth and arms. In response, Kumbhakarna destroys all those monkeys with his spike. When Angada, the leader of the monkeys, attacks Kumbhakarna, the latter strikes Angada violently and Angada falls unconscious. Then, Kumbhakarna begins his attack on Sugreeva. But, Sugreeva strikes Kumbhakarna's chest with a mountain, but the mountain only breaks into pieces. When Kumbhakarna throws his spike towards Sugreeva in retaliation, Hanuma stops it on the way and breaks it off. Then, Kumbhakarna hurls a mountian-crust on Sugreeva to make him unconscious and takes him away on his shoulders to Lanka. When Sugreeva regains consciousness, he tears off the ears and nose of Kumbhakarna with his sharp nails and teeth. In relation, Kumbhakarna thren Sugreeva down and crushed him. Then Sugreeva bounces into the air and gets re united with Rama. Kumbhakarna thereafter takes his hammer and begins to attack the monkeys and bears. Then, Lakshmana starts to attack Kumbhakarna with his arrows. But, Kumbhakarna appreciates the valour of Lakshmana and proceeds towards Rama to fight with him. Rama discharges some arrows with 'Roundra' spell towards Kumbhakarna. Those arrows disappear into Kumbhakarna's chest and make him weapon-less. In retaliation, Kumbhakarna hurls a mountain-peak towards Rama and even before the mountain-peak reaches Rama, it was split up into pieces by the arrows released by Rama. Thereupon, on the advice given by Lakshmana, all the monkeys climb straight upon Kumbhakarna's body. Kumbhakarna shakes them off with violence. Then, Rama employs a great missile and chops off one arm of Kumbhakarna. When Kumbhakarna with an uprooted tree in his arm, retailiates by running towards Rama, the latter with an arrow, presided over by Indra, hurls it on the former and chops off the second arm of Kumbhakarna, Rama then chops off the feet of Kumbhakarna with his arrows and finally slashes off his head.

Before agreeing to go for battle, Kumbhkaran gave sagely advice to Ravan as follows: -

These consquences were imagined by us earlier during our consultation. It is faced by you know, due to your utter disregard of the words spoken by your well-wishers. You did not think of this, only because of your sheer arrogance of power. He who, abiding in power, performs duties to be done earlier at a later stage and duties to be done later, at an early stage, does not know what is a right course and what is a wrong course. Action done perversely, regardless of space and time, get spoiled like offering oblations without properly making the fire well-prepared.

He, who acts according to an agreement done with his counsellors, considering three types of actions through five means, moves along a right course.
The three types of actions are: -
1) Conclusion of peace through conciliation.
2) Acceptance of allegiance through gift.
3) Invasion, as a method of coercion.

The five means are:-
1) The method of initiating an actions.
2) Personality and material to be worked upon.
3) Time and place of action.
4) Provision against bad luck
5) Chances of success

A king who wishes to execute an agreement as per law, understands it through his own intellect as well as the counsellors and discovers it through his friends, is on a right course. O king of demons! A man resorts to virtue or worldly gain or pleasure or all the three together or a twin combination of virtue and worldly gain or virtue and pleasure or worldly gain and pleasure or worldly gain and pleasure, according to an appointed time.

That sovereign king or crown prince, who, having heard which one is the best out of these three but does not keep it in mind, his extensive learning would be in vain. Whosoever takes a decision after consultation with his counsellors, and performs the act of giving gifts or sowing dissension at appropriate occasion or exhibits strength or resorts to them all together, that intelligent person never confronts a misfortune in this world.

A sovereign has to do an act here, looking into his welfare as a consequence along with his counsellors who make their living by their intelligence and who understand the true state of the things. Men with brutal ideas, who are initiated in discussions, aspire to tell haughty things, without fully knowing the meanings of the scriptures.

The words spoken by those who did not know the scriptures, who do not recollect the books dealing with practical life and who covet for abundant wealth are not to be implemented. Those men who talk with audacity, some inimical things in a friendly way, are to be kept out of deliberations, as they certainly spoil the work to be done.

Some counsellors, colluding with some learned adversaries, spoil their king and make them do wrong deeds. The king should make-out those ministers who have been transformed by the enemy to their side and are enemies though looking like friends.

Outsiders find out the fickleness of a ruler, who is led away by false appearances and hurriedly does anything. A king who disregards an enemy and does not protect himself, indeed faces disappointing occurrences and would be removed from his position. That advice which was tendered to you earlier by vibhishana is beneficial to us. Do whatever you wish to do.
