Hanuman-Nāṭaka, Act 11 (Summary)
In the 11th Act Rāma said to Aṅgada to stay carefully the Vānarasenā because in the next day there took place the Rāma’s battle festival.[1] Aṅgada made everyone careful because the demoness Prabhañjanī came there by the order of Rāvaṇa and in the night the Rākṣaṣī came and saw Rāma and Lakṣmana sleeping there.[2] Aṅgada caught her. Rāvaṇa sent Kumbhakarṇa to fight against Rāma. There took place the fight between Aṅgada, Sugrīva, Nila and Kumbhakarṇa. In this fight Kumbhakarṇa was killed. Here this Act comes to its end. This Act is named as Kumbhakarṇa-vadha.
