Padma Purana
Seeing all of them being brought in like elephants, the Vidyadharas, who were sitting together, started talking amongst themselves, as they pleased, saying, "If Indrajit or King Kumbhakarna, seeing the burning pyre of Ravana, becomes angry, or if even one of them gets upset, then who among the monkey army, the king, is capable of standing before them?" ||16|| "Whoever was sitting wherever, he did not get up from his place, because they had all seen their strength at the forefront of the battle." ||16|| "Bhammandala told his chief warriors, "We should not trust Vibhishana yet, because if he gets to see his relatives freed from their bonds, his sorrow for his brother might cause him to act irrationally." ||20|| "Thus, surrounded by Bhammandala and others, who were filled with various doubts, Kumbhakarna and others were brought to Rama and Lakshmana." ||22|| "Kumbhakarna and all the others, free from attachment and aversion, had attained the state of a sage in their hearts. They were looking at the earth with gentle eyes, their faces serene." ||23|| "They had decided in their minds that there is no essence in this world, only Dharma is the essence, which is the great friend of all beings. If we are freed from this bondage, we will become renunciates and take food only with our hands." ||24|| "Having made this vow, they went to Rama. King Kumbhakarna and others went to Vibhishana." ||26|| "Then, when the conversation about the time of sorrow gradually ended, Kumbhakarna and others, who were embodiments of peace, said to Rama and Lakshmana, "Oh, your courage, your depth, your efforts, and your strength are all excellent, because you have caused the death of Ravana, who was invincible even to the gods." ||27-28|| "Even though he was a great wrongdoer, arrogant, and harsh in his speech, if an enemy has excellent qualities, he is worthy of praise by the wise." ||26||
