Sumālī understood that Vaiśravaṇa became worthy of homage because he was the son of Viśravas. So he took his daughter Kaikasī and left her in the house of Viśravas. After a while, being pleased with her services, Viśravas took her as his wife. Once she requested her husband for children. Accordingly she got Rāvaṇa, Kumbhakarṇa and Vibhīṣaṇa as sons. - [Previous: c7.1622](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1622) - [Next: c7.1624](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1624) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1623](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.1623) · Pramāṇa
