'Renown', IAST: Viśravā), also called Vishravas, is the son of Pulastya, and a powerful rishi (sage), as described in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
Ilavida bore Vishrava a son, Vaishravana, also called Kubera, the god of wealth, who was subsequently blessed with the rulership of Lanka by Brahma.
[4] A rakshasa named Sumali urged his daughter, Kaikasi, to seek Vishrava as her husband, promising her that their children would rival Kubera.
The cognisant Vishrava informed the beautiful maiden that their children, if produced, would be rakshasas, of cruel exploits.
[6] When Ravana claimed Lanka for himself, Vishrava counselled Kubera to accede to his half-brother's demand, to avoid conflict.
