A Tie between Kumbhakarna and Indrajit
KUMBHAKARNA :-
- Undoubtedly the Most Strongest Rakshasa in the Treta Yuga.
- Defeated Indra and Yama in the Fair Battle.
- Plucked out the Airavata Tusk and pierced it in the chest of Indra.
- Crushed many Powerful Vanaras like Sugreeva, Nala, Nila, Angada etc., despite he is in the state of Intoxication.
- Survived the Indra’s Vajra, Shri Rama's Raudrastra and the Arrow which killed Vali and countered the Arrows by flourishing the Hammer.
- Shri Rama needed two Aindrastras and Vayavya Astra to bring him down.
- What makes the impressive is despite his nose, ears were torn and his limbs were chopped, he continued to fight on his thigh.
INDRAJIT :-
- He is the most powerful Archer from Lanka Side and also adept sorcerer and dangerous illusionist too.
- He is the only warrior from Lanka Side who had the possession of Brahmastra.
- Defeated Adityas, Rudras, Maruts, Vasus, Nagas and also Indra and his son Jayantha in fair fight (as mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana)
- Just like his uncle, he too plucked out the Airavata’s tusk and manhandled Airavata and it's rider Indra by hurling them to the floor with Bare Arms.
- He is the only being who captured Indra alive thus earned the name “Indrajit” (Conqueror Of Indra)
- Stomped Sugreeva, Angada, Dvivida, Mainda etc., with his Arrows and also knocked out 670 Million Vanaras along with Shri Ram and Lord Laxman to unconscious after performing Nikumbala Sacrifice.
- He converted some offsprings of Kadru into a weapon using his sorcery and with that weapon, he knocked out both Shri Rama and Lord Laxmana to unconscious by hiding behind skies through powerful illusions.
- His best feat was helding Lord Laxmana on the ground for three continuous days and also destroyed the latter's celestial Armour gifted by Varuna with normal Arrows. Suprisingly, he didn't restored to any sort of boons or illusions and also Celestial Beings came to prevent Indrajit Arrows to reach Lord Laxmana.
- Lord Laxmana has to use the Aindrastra empowered with Shri Rama's name which instantly kill Indrajit and the former’s condition was too serious after the battle so that he can't able to speak or take breath properly.
So Kumbhakarna/Indrajit are the powerful Rakshasas in Ramayana however Indrajit had a edge due to his unassailabled boons.
