The son Viśravaṇa was born to Pulastya. Viśravaṇa rejected his father Pulastya and served his grandfather Brahmā. Pulastya did not like this. He generated another son Viśravas from half of his body. Viśravas tried to wreak vengeance on Viśravaṇa, who took refuge near Brahmā, who was much pleased at Viśravaṇa and granted him immortality, the state of being the owner of wealth, the position of ‘Lokapāla’, connection with Śiva, a son named Nalakūbara, the city of Laṅkā, the Puṣpaka Vimāna, the lordship of the Yakṣas and the title Rājarāja (King of Kings).
