In a former life this figure and his brother were gatekeepers of Vishnu who were expelled from Vishnu's home for refusing entry to the Sanatha Kumara.
In a former life this figure and his brother were gatekeepers of Vishnu who were expelled from Vishnu's home for refusing entry to the Sanatha Kumara. He purified himself by Lake Rakshastaal, after which he was granted protection from all but mortal men. Vishwakarma designed this figure's city, whose rule he usurped from his half-brother Kubera. Shiva gave him the sword Chandrahas, which he used to kill the vulture-god Jatayu while he was returning to his city of Lanka along with his kidnapped captive Sita. For 10 points, name this Rakshasa, the primary antagonist of the Ramayana.
