Full sarga summary
At Rama's wonder over the earlier rakshasas, Agastya tells how Brahma, having created the waters, made beings to guard them -- those who cried 'we will guard' became rakshasas and those 'we will eat' became yakshas -- of the line of Heti and Praheti: Heti weds Bhaya, sister of Death, and begets Vidyutkesha, whose abandoned son is saved and made immortal by Shiva and Parvati as Sukesha, granted a sky-faring city.
