Trishiras

In the Ramayana, the earlier of the two
great Hindu epics, Trishiras is a demon
ally of Ravana, the demon-king of
Lanka. Along with Ravana’s brothers,
Khara and Dushana, Trishiras leads a
frontal attack against the god Rama, the
epic’s protagonist. The attack is an effort
to avenge the insult to Ravana’s sister
Shurpanakha, who has been mutilated
by Rama’s brother Lakshmana.
Although he is a valiant warrior, Trishiras
is eventually killed by Rama, as are
Khara and Dushana. The failure of such
frontal attacks convince Ravana that
Rama is too powerful to kill in combat,
so he decides to take revenge by kidnapping Rama’s wife Sita.
