Jaya

In Hindu mythology, one of the gatekeepers of the god Vishnu’s heavenly
abode, Vaikuntha, who, with his brother
Vijaya, is cursed to be born three times
as a demon (asura) and to be killed each
time by Vishnu. The sage Sanaka places
this curse on them when they prevent
him from seeing Vishnu. In their first
birth the two are born as Hiranyaksha
and Hiranyakashipu, who are killed by
the Boar avatar and the Man-Lion
avatar respectively. In their second
incarnation they are born as Ravana
and Kumbhakarna, who are both killed
by Vishnu’s Rama avatar. In their final
birth they incarnate as Shisupala and
Dantavaktra and are killed by Vishnu’s
Krishna avatar. After the conditions of
the curse have been fulfilled, they return
to their duties as Vishnu’s gatekeepers.
