After Raavan's sons and Kumbhkarn were killed, Sugreev said to Vaanar - "Enter Lankaa towards evening carrying torches. It will be appropriate to enter in the evening and burn the whole Lankaa, because at this time Raavan will not be able to protect his city." Hearing this all Vaanar entered Lankaa carrying torches in the evening. Seeing so many Vaanar coming like this, the gatekeepers ran away in fear. Vaanar put the Lankaa's houses on blaze going around. Lankaa's houses and palaces started falling. Everything started burning in them.

Raakshas started crying all around. Women started jumping from their houses carrying their children. Seeing Lankaa burning, elephants and horses were released. All animals started running all around. Raakshas had come out to fight. Seeing this Raam and Lakshman started showering arrows. As Raam made sound out of His bow, Raakshas got frightened. It seemed to them as if Bhagvaan Shiv Himself has come with all His fury.

Sugreev ordered Vaanar to surround all the gates of Lankaa. When Raavan came to know about this, he got very angry. He ordered Kumbhkarn's sons, Kumbh and Nikumbh, to take army and fight. Raavan sent many mighty Raakshas in that army. So Kumbh and Nikumbh went to fight. Both armies fought very bravely. One Raakshas killed 10 Vaanar each, but Vaanar surrounded the Raakshas army and hit them with trees and rocks. Because of this Raakshas lost their armors, chariots etc. Seeing this Raakshas got afraid.

Sarg 76 - Angad Kills Akampan, Shonitaaksh

When Baali-Putra Angad came to Akampan, Akampan hit him with his Gadaa. Angad got shaken for a moment, then he threw a Parvat on him. Akampan got killed and fell on the ground. Seeing Akampan dead, Shonitaaksh came to fight with Angad and started showering arrows. Angad destroyed his chariot, arrows, bows etc. He caught him, snatched his sword and cut him with the same sword. Then Angad started attacking other Raakshas.

Then came Yoopaaksh and Prajangh to attack Angad. Mayand and Dwivid came to help Angad. Both armies fought very bravely. Vaanar threw trees and rocks on Raakshas, and they cut them before they hit them. Then Prajangh came with his sword. As Angad threw a tree on Prajangh, his sword fell down from his hand. Seeing this Prajangh hit Angad with his fist. Angad got shaken for a moment. Then he also hit Prajangh with a fist and Prajangh died of that.

Seeing Prajangh dead, Yoopaaksh ran to Angad and attacked him with his sword. Dwivid hit Yoopaaksh with his fist and caught him. Shonitaaksh also hit Dwivid, Dwivid got hurt, but snatched his Gadaa. At the same time, Mayand came to help Dwivid, then both fought with Yoopaaksh and killed him.

Raakshas army got afraid after both army-chiefs were killed. They started running away. Then Kumbh called them back to fight and he started showering arrows. Dwivid fell down with the hit of those arrows. Seeing his brother fall down, Mayand threw a rock which Kumbh broke with his arrows in the way, and shot one arrow at Mayand. Mayand fell down.

Angad started showering stones on Kumbh, but he cut them all. Then Kumbh showered arrows on Angad and wounded him, but he did not move from there. Seeing this, Kumbh shot one arrow at Angad's eye which caused it bleeding. Angad could not see, so he put one hand on his eye and hit him with a tree with his other hand. Kumbh cut that tree also. Angad got sad and fell down.

Seeing this Raam sent Jaambvaan etc chief Vaanar to rescue Angad. They hit Kumbh with trees and stones, but he made all of them useless. So Sugreev came near him, snatched his bow and arrow and broke them. He said - "Your archery is admirable. You are as mighty as Indrajeet, but I have not killed you because you are tired fighting for so long. You need some rest, go and take some rest and come again, then I will kill you."

Hearing this Kumbh came down and had a dual fight with Sugreev. Sugreev threw him in the sea. He went to the bottom of the sea. Later Kumbh came and attacked Sugreev. Sugreev hit him with his fist which killed him. All remaining Raakshas ran away in fear.
