THE DEATH OF KUMBOKARNO: THE INVASION OF ALENGKA AND THE FALL OF A PATRIOTIC HERO

Rama, Leksmana , Sugriwa and his army wait anxiously for the return of Hanuman from Alengka. Soon, he arrives bringing a happy news for everybody and then delivers Shinta's hairpin to Rama. On seeing this, Rama is overwhelmed with sadness but he thanks Hanuman nevertheless. Next, Rama sends Hanggada to Alengka to tell Rahwana to surrender. Rama shoots a magic arrow into the ocean separating the two countries, causing the water to dry out instantly. The ocean fishes are panic-striken but eventually cooperated. Rama's troop finally can cross over the dry land to Alengka.

In Alengka, Rahwana himself is assembling his ministers and warriors to discuss about the upcoming war, when Hanggada arrives. Hanggada delivers Rama's message. It infuriates Rahwana that he orders Hanggada to be killed. Kumbakarna tries to stop him and that angers Rahwana even more. Kumbakarna reminds Rahwana that Hanggada is just an envoy of Rama. Rahwana turns his anger toward Kumbakarna instead, ordering him to leave Alengka.

As Kumbakarna leaves, Rahwana instructs Indrajid, Prahasta, Sarpakenaka and all the giant's army to go to battle to defeat Rama. The battle is cruel and terrible. Prahasta, the prime minister of Rahwana, is killed by Hanila. He uses a stone to smash Prahasta. Then he redeems the infidel woman to become the goddess Hendradi. Meanwhile, Indrajid dies on Leksmana's arrow. Sarpakenaka, Rahwana's sister, dies from Hanuman's strike. Above all, the most tragic scene is the patriotic hero of Kumbakarna dies.
