Does Ravana's lineage exist today or was it only mythology?
Answers
Ravana is widely considered to be a symbol of evil. In Sri Lankan mythology, however, he is considered as a great ruler.[5] Ravana also had many qualities that made him a learned scholar. He was well-versed in the six shastras and the four Vedas.[6]
In the Ramayana, Ravana abducted Rama's wife Sita and took her to his kingdom of Lanka, where he held her as a prisoner in Ashok Vatika,[7] and also expressed a desire to marry her. Later, Rama, with the support of vanara King Sugriva and his army of vanars, attacked Ravana in Lanka. They killed Ravana and Rama rescued his beloved wife Sita.[8]
Ravana is considered to be the most revered devotee of Shiva. Images of Ravana are seen associated with Shiva at some places. He also appears in the Buddhist Mahayana text Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra, in Buddhist Ramayanas and Jatakas, as well as in Jain Ramayanas. In some scriptures, he is depicted as one of Vishnu’s cursed doorkeepers.[9]
