Swift got the idea from the hindu mythology "RAMAYAN". 'KUMBHAKARNA' is a character in this myth where he seems to have a mountainous body and all other subjects of him look very tiny infront of him. He is a stalwart but sleeps for six months at a stretch. When any alarming situation arises the king calls for him. Elephants, horses and countless soldiers were sent with big drums and trumpets to make him awake. The officials with loads and loads of victuals and drums and drums of wine keep together for menting his appetite and thirst and so on.

After writing the first part of his voyage to LILIPUT he fabricated the other stories like wise.
