Akampana

Hearing the news of Dhumraksha's fall, Ravana called for Akampana.
He asked the brave rakshasha to go and capture Rama and Lakshmana and bring them to him.
Akampana was about to leave when a vulture came and sat on his chariot. His hands were also shaking. These were ill omens.
Akampana went ahead and attacked the western gate. Dust flew everywhere from the fight that was happening between the two armies. Three vanaras, Mahendra, Devendra and Kumud came to see who had come to fight.
They started showering trees on the rakshasa. The rakshasha cut off the trees and the vanaras fled. Nila and Nala came next and they were defeated too.
Hanumana came next. The rakshasa showered arrows on Hanumana, Hanumana lost his balance and fell down. Getting up, he uprooted a tree and flung it at Akampana, who cut it off with his arrows.
Not sure what else to do, Hanumana jumped on top of the chariot of Akampana. Catching him by hair, Hanumana dashed him on the ground, killing him.

Ravana was sent the news of Akampana's death.
