Hearing of the destruction of the highly powerful Kumbhakarņa by Rāma of the irrepressible Atikay by Lakşmaņa as well as of his beloved son Indrajit, Rāvana did not come to his senses.* *One śloka has been omitted here by some of the editors which when translated stands thus; When one monkey only Hanumān killed the prince Akşaya and reduced the whole city to ashes with the fire of his tail Rāvana should have come to his senses.
कुम्भकर्णं हतं श्रुत्वा राघवेण महाबलम्। अतिकायं च दुर्मर्ष लक्ष्मणेन हतं तदा।। प्रियं चेन्द्रजितं पुत्रं रावणो नावबुद्ध्यते॥
