'''Malyaban''' or '''Malyavan''' was the Chief Royal Adviser to the Emperor of Lanka, [[Ravana]]. Malyavan was a respected voice within the intellectual and royal circles in Lanka. It is noted that Malyavan was an intellectual who was well-versed in scriptures and was known for holding his ground, despite being the dissenting voice. Malyavan was a maternal grandfather Of [[Ravana|Dashanana]].<br />
<br />
Actually Malyavan was the elder brother of Ravana's actual maternal grandfather [[Sumali]] and once used to be the former king of Lanka, later Ravana reconquered it.<br />
<br />
In addition to the royal protocol relations that he had with Ravana, he was the maternal grandfather of Ravana, therefore, he had a dual relationship. In the latter relationship, he was known for trying to persuade Ravana outside the chambers of protocol and advising him as a grandfather. Ravana respected him tremendously because of their relation and due to his intelligence.<br />
<br />
Malyavan was against the war with Lord [[Rama]] and had tried to convince Ravana to let go to [[Sita]]; however, all his advise was rejected by Ravan. After the death of Ravan, Malyavan remained in his position and became the chief adviser to [[Vibishana]], Ravana's younger brother and Malyavan's third grandson.<br />
<br />
Malyavan's wife was Sundari who was very beautiful. She had eight sons - [[Vajra Mushti]] Viroopaaksh, Durmukh, Suptaghn, Yagyakop, Matt and Unmatt; and one beautiful daughter named Analaa.<br />
