Ravana in Malayalam
Ravana himself is not an entry here; the name is written in Malayalam much as it is in Sanskrit. What the dictionary lists are words from his story: അതികായന് (athikayan) is a giant or man of huge frame, and the entry notes it as the name of Ravana's son. The th is dental and the final n is the chillu form.
Giant, gigantic figure, son of Ravana.
കഥയിലെ അതികായന് മലയോളം ഉയരമുള്ളവനാണ്.
kathayile athikayan malayolam uyaramullavanaanu.
The giant in the story is as tall as a hill.
All Malayalam words for “ravana”
- അതികായന് (athikayan) — Giant, gigantic figure, son of Ravana.
- അശോകവനിക (ashoka vanika) — The garden in Lanka where Ravana let Sita dwell.
അശോകവനിക (ashoka vanika) is the garden in Lanka where Sita was kept, so both entries are satellites of the Ramayana rather than translations of the name.
