How Ravana got the triat of an Asura

                     How Ravana,the King of Lanka became an Asura.


                Visravas Maharishi was the son of Pulasthiya maharishi.Bhratvaja rishi got his daughter, Ellipillai married to Visravas.To them kubera was born.Meanwhile Lord vishnu chased the Asuras to Padala loka.

              The asuras got scared as their race may extinct.So the leader of Asuras  Sumali asked his daughter to go to Visravas maharishi and to request him to marry her.He will not object to that.If he did accompany her he may object.So she went alone and requested.


        The rishi said he would do that later as that time was not good for marrying,but she insistedin marrying..The rishi said if she married four children will be born out of them one will be a girl two sons will behave like that of an asura and one will be noble.So Ravana,Kumbakarna,Vibhishana
 and Soorbanaka were born to her.Vibhishana was pious and good


 Thus Ravana got the asuralakshana or trait. I read this episode in a Tamil magazine which I would like to share.
