Shrupnaka's husband was from Danav or Asur community, definitely not from Rakhshas.

Vaaka's devi son Vidujiva will be her brother.

Ooh. Thanks hun! Did Ravana's kids have any kids!

Pulastya was Brahma's son so most probably a Prajapati

Sumali was son of a Raksha called Sukesha and had 2 brothers Malyavan and Mali.

They did penance got a boon from Brahma of being invincible and always together, they conquered devtas and all.

After that the Lanka kingdom came into existence. Malayavan being the eldest was the KIng at that time it seems.

Kuber was a human having 3 hands and 8 teeth and was initially the King of Kalinga, he was a Shiv Bhakt and built various temples of Mahadev . He did a severe penance for years to ultimately get the boon from Shiv, and, hence became revered and King of Yakshas. His wife was a Yakshini.

Thanks for this chart, but some questions:

• Were Khar/Dushan direct brothers of Ravan, or rather his cousins from the sons of either Malee or Malyavan?
• Prahasta was Ravan's uncle, not son. Ramanand Sagar got it wrong (and also, he was killed by Neela, not Lakshman)
• Kumbhini - was she Ravan's own sister, or cousin? (Yeah, she lived in Lanka and was abducted and married by a rakshasha Madhu, and she persuaded Ravan not to widow her. Ironically, the reason Ravan wasn't there to protect her was that he was busy killing Shurpanakha's hubby Vidyutjeeva and widowing her 😆)
• Ahiravan was not a brother of Ravan. If one goes by Krittivas, which is the only version that I'm aware of that has Ahiravan and Mahiravan, Mahiravan was Ravan's son and Ahiravan was Mahiravan's yet-to-be-born son who tormented Hanuman after his father was killed

Khar and Khumbhini were children of Puṣpotkaṭā Dushan was Vaka kid.

The family tree doesn't mentions about all the wives of Vishrava, please refer to my previous post for that(the one after the family tree post) The family post isn't true completely , I was unable to edit the post yesterday, thanks to my mobile😆

You are right about Ahiravan
