## The Lineage of the Rakshasas
This is the origin of the Rakshasa lineage. I will now describe the prominent men of this lineage.
Bhima Prabha's first son was known as Pujarha. He renounced the world and gave the kingdom to his son, Jitbhaaskar.
Jitbhaaskar, in turn, gave the kingdom to his son, Samparikīrti, and became a monk. Samparikīrti then gave the kingdom to Sugrīva and received initiation.
Sugrīva, placing Harigrīva on his throne, performed intense austerities and became a great god.
Harigrīva, giving the kingdom to Śrīgrīva, embraced the life of a monk and went into the forest.
Śrīgrīva, giving the kingdom to Sumukha, followed the path chosen by his father. The powerful Sumukha then gave the kingdom to Savyakta and received initiation.
Savyakta gave the Rakshasa wealth to Amritvega, who then gave it to Bhanugati, and Bhanugati gave it to Chintaagati, all of them embracing the path of a monk.
Thus, Indra, Indra Prabha, Megha, Mrigari Daman, Pavi, Indrajit, Bhanuvarma, Bhanu, Bhanu Prabha, Surari, Trijata, Bhima, Mohan, Uddharaka, Ravi, Chakara, Vajramadhya, Pramoda, Singha Vikrama, Chamund, Marana, Mishma, Dwipavaha, Ari Mardana, Nirvanabhakti, Ugrashri, Arhad Bhakti, Anuttar, Gatabhram, Anil, Chanda, Lankashoka, Mayuravan, Mahabahu, Manorama, Bhaskarabha, Brihadgati, Brihatkanta, Arisantraas, Chandraavarta, Maharava, Meghadhvana, Grihakshobha, and Nakshatra Daman, and countless other Vidyaadharas, were born in this lineage. All these Vidyaadharas were endowed with magic and prowess, and possessed knowledge, strength, and great brilliance.
All of them were skilled in the application of knowledge, their chests adorned with Lakshmi, beautiful, and mostly born in Lanka after falling from heaven.
These Rakshasa kings, fearing the world, gave the wealth inherited from their lineage to their sons and embraced the life of a monk.
Some, due to the residue of their karma, went to the peak of the three worlds. Others, due to the ripening of their good deeds, ascended to heaven.
