Ravana was born to a great sage <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishrava" target="_blank">Vishrava</a> (or Vesamuni), and his wife, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daitya" target="_blank">daitya</a> princess <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaikesi" target="_blank">Kaikesi</a>. He was born in the Devagana <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotra" target="_blank">gotra</a>, as his grandfather, the sage <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulastya" target="_blank">Pulastya</a>, was one of the ten Prajapatis or mind-born sons of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma" target="_blank">Brahma</a> and one of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saptarishi" target="_blank">Saptarishi</a> (Seven Great Sages Rishi) in the first <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manvantara" target="_blank">Manvantara</a>. Kaikesi's father, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumali" target="_blank">Sumali</a>  (or Sumalaya), king of the Daityas, wished her to marry the most  powerful being in the mortal world, so as to produce an exceptional  heir. He rejected the kings of the world, as they were less powerful  than him. Kaikesi searched among the sages and finally chose Vishrava,  the father of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubera" target="_blank">Kubera</a>.  Ravana was thus partly Brahmin and partly Daitya. Ravana later  conquered Sri Lanka from his half brother Kubera and became the King of  Lanka.</blockquote>
