mAlyavat a. Wreathed, crowned. — m. 1 N. of a mountain or ( pb ) mountain range; U. 1. 33 ; R. 13. 26. 2 N. of a demon, son of Suketu [He was the maternal uncle and minister of Rāvaṇa and aided him in many of his schemes. In early times he propitiated the god Brahman by his austere penance, as a reward of which the splendid island of Laṅkā was caused to be built for him. He lived there with his brothers for some years, but afterwards left it, which was then occupied by Kubera. Afterwards when Rāvaṇa ousted Kubera from the island, Mālyavat returned with his relatives and lived with him for a long time.]
