What are the details of Ravana’s son Athikaya?
Atikaya was the son of Ravana and his wife Dhanyamalini. He was the younger brother of Meghanada and was extremely powerful.
Once upon a time when he infuriated Lord Shiva atop Mount Kailasha. Lord Shiva hurled his Trishula (divine trident) at Atikaya, but Atikaya caught the Trishula in mid air and folded his hands before the lord in a humble manner. Lord Shiva was pleased at seeing this and benevolently blessed Atikaya with the secrets of archery and divine weapons. Due to his extraordinary skills and superiority, he had to be slain by Lakshmana by using Brahmastra.
