Akṣayakumāra , also known is Akshaya in various languages, was the youngest son of Ravana and the brother of Indrajit and Megandha. In the Ramayana, when Hanuman started destroying Ashoka Vatika after a conversation with Sita, Ravana sent him the Kinkara to take care of it. A warrior of just sixteen, he took the gaze of his father as his command and left for battle in his chariot. He fought with Hanuman, aiming various weapons at him. Though highly impressed by the young prince's valor and skills, Hanuman killed him in the end. Hanuman also told him how brave he was.
