Ramayana by William Buck (1976)
- This story starts off right after Sita is banished because she is pregnant and Rama doesn't think the babies are his
- Kusha and Lava are Rama's sons
- Ravana has challenges and beat the god, Indra.
- Because of his powers, Ravana is able to defeat the god, he then imprisons them and makes them work as servants in his palace
- Indra sought out Narayana (Vishnu) for help
- King Dasharatha performs a sacrifice in order to have kids, when his wives eat the rice from the sacrifice they then have Rama and his brothers
- This rice might be a fun element to bring into my storybook
- Brahma made Vaishravana the lord of treasures and wealth.
- He also received the chariot called Pushpaka and the gift of immortality.
- This is something I want to work into my stories. Lately I have been looking for more Indian elements to bring into the stories and I think this would be a nice addition
- One thing that I find fascinating about Indian Epics is the different legendary weapons and gifts many of the heroes receive from the gods
- Kaikasi (daughter of one of the first Rakshasa demons) married Vaishravanan and from their union they had four children
- The ten-headed Ravana,
- The giant Kumbhakarna,
- Vibhishana the good rakshasa,
- rakshasi daughter, Shurpanakha.
- Both Kumbhakarna and Ravana are featured in my story but it might be a fun twist to have all four siblings show up!
- This is very much like belatirx and the Malfoy family
Hundred-Handed Arjuna Defeats Ravana.
