ViÅravas, father of RÄvaį¹a was the son of MÄninÄ«, daughter of °Õį¹į¹²¹²ś¾±²Ō»å³Ü. There is a story about him in Uttara RÄmÄyaį¹a.
2) Once the sage Pulastya was doing penance in a secluded place in the HimÄlayas when a few Deva Gandharva women came to that place and disturbed his penance by their dances and noise. The angered sage gave a curse to that place saying that any woman coming to that place would become pregnant. MÄninÄ«, daughter of °Õį¹į¹²¹²ś¾±²Ō»å³Ü went to this place unaware of the curse and got pregnant. She came weeping to her father and °Õį¹į¹²¹²ś¾±²Ō»å³Ü immediately took his daughter to Pulastya and asked him to marry MÄninÄ«. Pulastya married MÄninÄ« and ViÅravas was born to her. How he cursed HanÅ«mÄn. Once HanÅ«mÄn caught hold of a lion and elephant in fight and tied them each to a post on the two sides of the ÄÅrama of °Õį¹į¹²¹²ś¾±²Ō»å³Ü. When the sage stepped out from the hermitage, he was for a moment frightened by the sight of two mighty animals on the sides of his ÄÅrama and knew by his divine powers that the perpetrator of that deed was HanÅ«mÄn and so he cursed him saying that he would lose all his divine powers forthwith. HanÅ«mÄn begged for relief and the sage said that he would regain his powers at the time of his going in search of SÄ«tÄ when another member of his species would remind him of his lost divine powers. HanÅ«mÄn remained oblivious of his powers till the time when the monkeys were trying to leap to Laį¹ kÄ from the Mahendra mountain on the shores of BhÄrata. JÄmbavÄn, a mighty monkey chief called HanÅ«mÄn to his side and made him understand the great powers latent in him. From that moment onwards HanÅ«mÄn regained his lost powers and became his old self.

Accordingly, as Muni NÄrada said to RÄvaį¹a: ā[...] Diti said to SulasÄ (daughter of Ayodhana, king of CÄraį¹ayugala): āChild, there is great anxiety to me in this ²õ±¹²¹²ā²¹į¹v²¹°ł²¹ of yours. The choice depends on you. So listen to the whole thing from the beginning. There were two sons of į¹į¹£abha SvÄmin, Bharata and BÄhubali, who had descendants, whose sons were SÅ«rya and Soma. My brother, °Õį¹į¹²¹²ś¾±²Ō»å³Ü, was born in the Soma-line; your father, King Ayodhana, was born in the SÅ«rya-line.

The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, āself-relianceā�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
