Ravana has many brothers and sons as per the answer of this question. I want to know the main characters who were killed by lord Rama's army in the war as per below list. If any other army of lord Rama is there whose name is missing in below but had killed any of them then please add it.

I will be happy and interest with only of Ravan's brothers and his own sons excluding all sons of his brothers .

  • How many of them were killed by lord Rama?
  • How many of them were killed by lord Lakshman?
  • How many of them were killed by lord Hanuman?
  • Any of them were killed by Sugriva?
  • Any of them were killed by Angad?
  • Any of them were killed by Jambavan?
  • Any of them were killed by Nala?
  • Any of them were killed by Nila?

  • Vanara warriors killed many and Rama Lakshmana killed too many. This looks like a too-broad question. You can specify the Rakshasa and by whom he was killed. To answer this, we have to go through total Yuddha Kanda. i.e., 66 chapters covering the war. btw, the answer you linked has some flaws. Ahiravan is not mentioned in Ramayana and also Brahmanda purana. Jan 9, 2018 at 16:46
  • I understood your question. Even if we consider people slain by main characters like Rama, Lakshmana etc., that would be many. I suggest you to add Rakshasas names and ask who killed him. By this, we can minimise the answers. Jan 9, 2018 at 17:24
  • Ravana had 10 brothers and 3 sisters as said in this answer opposed to the accepted answer.. I think you haven't understood my comment. Rama, Hanuman, Angada, Jambavan killed many Rakshasas. If you give the names of the Rakshasas instead asking how many Rakshasas did Rama, Lakshmana etc., killed. That would add up to half of the Ravana army. Jan 9, 2018 at 18:04
  • @KailashChandraPolai - "But I cleaned mentioned as the main characters and only of ravan's relatives" - This thing was not clear. And you said in question that "If any other are there please add them" . Anyway my answer is community WIKI answer. anybody can contribute in it. Jan 9, 2018 at 20:22
  • Is this question now limited to Ravana's real brothers and sons only? If so, then how come Virupaksha is in answer who is son of Malyavan (as per Uttarkanda)?

balan samastan kapiraakShasaanaam | unmattaga~NgaapratimaM babhUva || 6-96-36 ||

Beholding that mighty Virupaksha killed by Sugreeva, the army of monkeys and demons together looked like the agitated river of Ganga.Beholding that mighty Virupaksha killed by Sugreeva, the army of monkeys and demons together looked like the agitated river of Ganga.


VI : Yuddha Kanda - Book Of Chapter - 97 -Verse 33 -Mahodara killed by Sugreeva.

लग्नमुत्कर्षतः खड्गन् खड्गेन कपिकुञ्जरः |
जहार सशिरस्त्राणन् कुण्डलोपहितन् शिरः || 6.97.33||

lagnamutkarShataH khaDgan khaDgena kapiku~njaraH
jahAra sashirastrANan kuNDalopahitan shiraH | ||6-97-33||

Book VI : Yuddha Kanda - Book Of War - Chapter - 69 - Angada Killing Narantaka .

थदान्तरिक्षे त्रिदश उत्तमानाम् | वन ओकसाम् चैव महा प्रणादः |
बभूव तस्मिन् निहते अग्र्य वीरे |नर अन्तके वालि सुतेन सम्ख्ये || 6.69.95||

thadaantarikSe tridasha uttamaanaam | vana okasaam caiva mahaa praNaadaH | babhuuva tasmin nihate agrya viire |nara antake vaali sutena samkhye || 6-69-95 ||

Book VI : Yuddha Kanda - Book Of War - Chapter 67 - Verse 177 - Lord Rama Kills Kumbhakarna

तथा व्यभासीद्धरिसैन्यमध्ये | निहत्य रामो यधि कुम्भकर्णम् || 6-67-177||

sa devalokasya tamo nihatya | suuryo yathaa raahumukhaadvimuktaH |
tathaa vyabhaasiiddharisainyamadhye | nihatya raamo yadhi kumbhakarNam || 6-67-177||

Having destroyed Kumbhakarna in battle, that Rama shone in the midst of the army of monkeys, in the same way as the sun shines in the midst of the celestial world, having destroyed darkness, duly getting delivered from the mouth of Rahu.


Book V : Sundara Kanda - Sarga 47 - Lord Hanumana kills Aksha (Ravana's own son)

निहत्य तम् वज्र सुत उपम प्रभम् | कुमारम् अक्षम् क्षतज उपम ईक्षणम् |

तत् एव वीरो अभिजगाम तोरणम् | कृत क्षणः काल इव प्रजा क्षये || ५-४७-३८

Killing that Aksha, possessing a lustre equal to that of Jayanta the son of Indra the lord of celestials and having his eyes resembling blood, the heroic Hanuma reached the same archy door way again, like Yama the lord of death expecting in a moment any mortal getting destroyed by him.


Book VI : Yuddha Kanda - Sarga 91 - Lakshmana kills Indrajit or Meghanada (Ravana's own son)

रुधिरक्लिन्नगात्रस्तु लक्ष्मणः शुभलक्षणः |

बभूव हृष्टस्तं हत्वा शक्रजेतारमाहवे || ९१-६-१

Lakshmana, endowed with auspicious bodily marks, whose limbs were drenched in blood, felt rejoiced on having killed Indrajit in combat.

  • @KailashChandraPolai - Yes added the shloka in answer. Will update the answer and will add more content later on. :-) Jan 9, 2018 at 15:45
  • What about Khara, Dushana - Ravana's other cousin brothers, who were killed by Rama in Aranya Kanda. Plus Ravana's own sons Atikaya, Trishira and Prahasta, who were killed by Lakshmana, Rama and Nila respectively. In other versions of Ramayana, especially Adhyatma, Ahiravana was killed by Panchamukhi Hanuman by stomping on him.

    @ArkaprabhaMajumdar is it mentioned in sarga 58 that Prahasta was son of Ravana? One Prahasta was Army general and fought against many including Aranyak, Mandhata and Kartvirya Arjuna...this was not Ravana's son.. However there may be other individual with same name.. That's why i said give source which says that the one who was killed by Nila was son of Ravana..
