Who Trishira is
Trishira, a three-headed son of Ravana, mounted a great chariot and rained arrows upon Hanuman after his brother Devantaka fell. He struck Hanuman on the chest with a spear and blinded his horses, but Hanuman leapt upon him, tore the sword from his hand, and with it cut off all three of his heads. His fall left only Mahaparshva to fight on among that band of champions.
“Three heads watch every corner of this board. Where will you hide?”
