Full sarga summary
From Patala, Sumali sees Kubera riding the Pushpaka and resolves to raise his line, bidding his daughter Kaikasi wed the sage Vishravas -- approaching him at a dread hour she is granted sons who, owing to the inauspicious time, will be cruel rakshasas, though her last shall be righteous -- she bears the ten-necked Dashagriva (Ravana), Kumbhakarna, Shurpanakha and the virtuous Vibhishana -- spurred by his mother's envy of Kubera, Ravana vows to equal him and departs to perform penance.
