He married Devavatī, daughter of the Gandharva called Maṇimaya and three children were born to the couple, viz. Mālyavān, Sumālī and Mālī. They did tapas to propitiate Brahmā and when he appeared requested him thus: "We must defeat Yakṣas Kinnaras, Gandharvas, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, Yama, Kubera, Vāsava, Nāga kings and daityas and dānavas and we must not be defeated by any one. We must kill all enemies and they shall not kill us. We three shall never quarrel among ourselves."
