i think indrajeet & sulochana were eternal lovers & indrajeet only married sulochana !!!!

Sita

That's accurate. One of the factoids about the satitva pativratas - Savitri, Sita, Sulochana, Anusuya and 3 others whose names I don't recall - their husbands were monogynous, and married only them, and no one else. Note that other virtuous women, such as Kaushalya, Draupadi, Mandodari, et al, whose husbands did marry other wives, did not fall under this category. Another factoid was that none of Krishna's wives fell in this list - not even Rukmini.

I don't know if she was Bali's daughter or neice. The information I read was that Vajramala was Virochana's grand daughter and he was the one who gave her in marriage to Kumbhkaran.

How is that Lord Vamana granting her her wish?

Here Karkati is normal😉

and she is inspiring Bhimasur to avenge the defeat of Ravan,Kumbhakarna et al with Ram,Lakshman so she says that he should first gather all rakshas who had scattered after the war, gain sufficient power and then wage a war against Ram

Guess in this process he gets killed by Lord Shiv and the place where he is killed becomes Bimashankar jyotirling

Okay, another warrior of Ravan's - Bhashmalochan (incineration by eye contact). He'd travel to war blindfolded and remove it when he was face to face with the enemy, therby incinerating them. He was among the first to go out to fight Rama. Vibhishan, seeing him, is shaken, and advises Rama to shoot reflector arrows at him. Rama does that and when Bhashmalochan removes his blindfold, he sees himself in those reflectors and is instantly incinerated by his own gaze.

I read this in the Kumbhakarna ACK and another place I can't remember, but does anyone else know which other source it comes from? Chen2chic, Vibs, Ananya, ...?

I think it said that Lord Vamana read her mind that firstly she wanted to breastfeed and fondle him as a child. But later wanted to kill Him. Poothana firstly fondles Krishna and takes him outside the house and only then has Him breastfeed, in the process killing herself.

I think it is the thought of her killing Him thats granted not the exact wish of killing Him.

I don't know much but its a part of Krittivas's Ramayana (bengali)

It appeared in the Chandamama also (hindi)

Bhasmalochana has power to reduce whoever he sees to ashes .For this reason he always covered his eyes. When Rama and his army reached the shore of Lanka ,they see Bhasmalochana,thankfully Vibishana informs Rama of Bhasmalochana's power and advised Rama to use mirrors to attack Bhasmalochana.Rama quickly created million of mirrors and aimed at Bhasmalochana.Before Bhasmalochana could cover his eyes ,the mirrors had surrounded him.He felt hundred of eyes burning inside of him .Bhasmalochana was burned to ashes.
