INTERVENING STORIES 125 (iv) Birth of R膩va峁嘺 and his brothers:-According to the PCV, in
course of time Kekas墨, the wife of Ratn膩艣rava gave birth to R膩va峁嘺,
Bh膩nukar峁嘺, Candranakh膩 and Vibh墨峁�a峁嘺 (7.96-98). The first son of
Kekas墨, in his babyhood, rolled down the cot and caught hold of a
necklace bedecked with nine jewels which had been given to
Meghav膩hana, the first lord of La峁卥膩pur墨 by Bhima, the
R膩k峁�as膩dhipa and it had passed on to Ratn膩艣rava as a paternal
property. When Kekas墨 out of curiosity put it round his
son's neck, she found that the face of her child got reflected in those
nine jewels and so he was named Da艣amukha鹿 (7.96). Bh膩nukar峁嘺's
other name was Kumbhakarna2 (8.57). There is a reference to the
dreams seen by Kekas墨 before giving birth to her children. These
dreams depicted cruel nature of Ravana (varakurakammak膩r墨) and
righteousness of other two sons (sucariy膩峁噓bhave峁嘺峁�) 7.76-84.
According to the VR (7.9), Sum膩lin while staying at in the P膩t膩la
observes Dhane艣vara (Vai艣rava峁嘺 of La峁卥膩) soaring in the sky in his
Puspakavim膩na with all his splendour. He plans to usher in the rise
and prosperity of his own family and then desiring to get a son by
Paulastya sends his daughter, Kekas墨 to marry her to Paulastya i.e.
Vi艣ravas. As she approached the Muni in hard times hence Vi艣ravas
predicted that cruel sons (kr奴rakarma峁嘺岣�) would be born to her. On
her imploration the curse was modified to the effect that her last son
would be (dharm膩tm膩) religious minded. In course of time Kekas墨
gave birth to Da艣agr墨va having ten heads and twenty arms, Kumbha-
kar峁嘺 having huge body, Surpanakha of abominable countenance
(vik峁泃膩nan膩) and Vibh墨峁�a峁嘺鲁 having religious inclination. At 3.17.22
Khara and D奴峁�a峁嘺 are referred to as the brothers of Surpanakh膩 and
at 7.24.37 Khara is cailed as (m膩t峁浥泇aseyas to bhr膩t膩) the cousin
brother of 艢奴rpa峁嘺kh膩.
The TR merely refers to R膩va峁嘺 as having ten heads and twenty
arms, as belonging to the family of Pulastya (1.176) and mentions
Vibhi峁�a峁嘺 as the step brother of R膩vana. Surpanakha is called the
sister of R膩va峁嘺, Khara and D奴峁�a峁嘺 (3.17 to 3.23).
1. He was called R膩va峁嘺 on account of making a loud cry for safety (ravo kao-
9.78) on the occasion of lifting up the Kailasa mountain to disturb
muni V膩li.
2. At his father-in.law's town Kumbhanagara some one made a sign on
account of his big ears, hence Bh膩nukar峁嘺 was called Kumbhakar峁嘺 (Tatheva
kumbhanayare, kena vi saddo kao sinehe峁嘺m, da峁�峁環奴峁嘺 pav膩rakanne tti).
3. The Gau岣嵞珁a and the NW versions of VR refer to R膩va峁嘺 and Vibh墨峁�a峁嘺 as
the sons of Nika峁Ｄ� (Bulcke,p. 418).
