Trishira (Template:Langx) is a rakshasa prince featured in the Ramayana. He is one of the sons of Ravana and Dhanyamalini and his brothers are Atikaya, Narantaka and Devantaka.[1]

Legend

The Ramayana states that Trishira engaged Rama in a fight and hit him with a number of arrows. At this, Rama told him that his arrows were like flowers being showered on his body. Thereafter, a duel ensued, in which Rama killed Trishira.[2]

Trishira and his brother Atikaya are believed to be incarnations of the asuras Madhu and Kaitabha, who were slain by Vishnu during the period of the creation of the universe.
