    Trishira (Sanskrit: त्रिशिर, romanized: Triśira, lit. 'the three-headed one') 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[edit]

    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]
