Mandhata was born to the pregnant king Yuvanashva, with the blessings of Devraj Indra. He was named Trasdasyu, because he was feared by every adharmi.
After winning over the entire world, Mandhata attacked Lanka in order to complete his total domination of earth. A massive battle ensued between Ravan and Mandhata. After many days of stalemate, the battle was stopped by Rishi Pulastya and Rishi Galav.
After ruling the earth for many years, Mandhata decided to conquer heaven. Indra pointed to Madhupuri saying you first capture that and then come to heaven. Madhupuri was ruled by Asura Lavan, who possessed the Trishula of Mahadev. When Mandhata attacked Madhupuri, he was killed by Lavan using Mahadev’s infallible Trishula.
