Pleased with his austerity, Brahma offered him a boon. Sumali, his grandfather, worked hard in secret to ensure that he retained the ethics of the Daityas.įollowing his initial training, Ravana performed an intense penance to Brahma (the creator god), lasting several years. Ravana was also an excellent veena player and the sign of his flag had picture of veena on it. Under Vishrava’s tutelage, Ravana mastered the Vedas and the holy books and also the arts and ways of Kshatriyas (warriors). His father Vishrava noted that while Ravana was aggressive and arrogant, he was also an exemplary scholar. Kaikesi also produced a daughter, Meenakshi (“girl with fish like eyes”), although later she was dubbed the infamous Shoorpanakha (“the one with a beautiful nose”). Through his mother, he was related to the daityas Maricha and Subahu. His brothers were Vibhishana and Kumbhakarna. Some say the ten heads were due to the reflections of a crystal necklace gifted to him by his father at the time of his birth or he knew a lot of information about the world and for this he needed ten heads. Ravana was given the name Dashanana or Dasagriva at birth – he was born with ten heads. Ravana was the second eldest of Vishrava’s children, Kubera – the god of wealth and Ravana’s step-brother – being the eldest. As such, Ravana was partly Daitya, and partly Brahmin. Vishrava warned her that as she approached him at an inappropriate time, their children would tend towards evil, but accepted her nevertheless. Kaikesi searched among the sages, and finally chose Vishrava. He rejected the kings of the world, as they were less powerful than him. Kaikesi’s father, Sumali, king of the Daityas, wished her to marry the most powerful being in the mortal world, so as to produce an exceptional heir. His mother was the Daitya princess Kaikesi. Ravana was born to the Brahmin sage known as Vishrava. He is portrated as having twenty hands, signifying greed and never-ending want. His ten heads earned him the names Dashamukha (दशमुख, The Ten-faced), Dashagriva (दशग्रीव, The Ten-necked) and Dashakantha (दशकण्ठ, Ten Throats). Ravana is depicted in art with up to ten heads, signifying his study of the Vedas and Shastras. In the epic, he is the king of Lanka, and of the Rakshasas or demons, many thousands of years ago. In Hinduism, Ravana also transliterated as Raavana or Ravan or Revana Thai Thotsakan, ทศกัณฐ์, the person with ten necks) is the principal antagonist of Rama in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
