Kuber was actual ruler of Lanka- the ancient city which was created by Vishwakarma for Lord Shiva. Vishrava’s son Kuber then inherited Lanka and shared all his wealth his half-brothers including Ravan. Vishrava fell in love with Kaikesi and fathered Ravan and his brothers. They decided that their daughter,Kaikesi would make a worthy wife for Vishrava and orchestrated her chance encounter with the Rishi. Both sought to increase their own powers through alliances with mighty Kings and Rishis. The accounts of Vishrava’s far-reaching Yogic powers reached the ears of the Asura, Sumali, and his wife, Tataka. Ilavida gave Vishrava a son, Kuber, the Lord of Wealth. Bharadwaja, in particular, was so impressed with Vishrava that he gave him his daughter, Ilavida, in marriage. Vishrava-a scholar par excellence, he earned great powers through Tapasya, which in turn, earned him great name and fame amongst his fellow Rishis.

The curse of first birth was fulfilled by Hiranyakashipu and his brother Hiranyaksha in Satya Yuga when they were both vanquished by Varaaha and Narasimha. Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarna were born to fulfill the curse on the second birth as enemies of Vishnu in the Treta Yuga. Eager to be back with the Lord, they choose the latter one. They were given two choices – either they could be born 7 times as normal mortals and devotees of Vishnu or 3 times as powerful enemies of Vishnu. Ravana And Kumbhakarna In Their Previous Births This was the reason why Ravana could not force Sita devi to marry him. Kuber’s son cursed him when he tried to mistreat Rambha that his head would burst into three parts the next time he touched a woman without her consent. Ravana used to get the woman of his desire and he could go to any length to do so. However, Lakshman killed him during the war. Meghnath thought that Sheshnaag won’t kill his own son-in-law. To counter his fate, Meghnath married Sheshnaag’s daughter Sulochna, which made Laskhman (Shahsnaag’s reincarnation) his father-in-law. Ravana’s son Meghnath was cursed that he would be killed by the lord of snakes.
