The Gods went to Vishnu. They narrated to him the trouble they were facing because of the Rakshasas. Vishnu told them to go back. He would do something.
Narada hearing this went to Lanka. On the gem studded throne, the three rakshasa brothers were seated. Seeing Narada, they got up, bowed to him and offered their seat. They asked the sage for reason for his visit.
Narada said he was a well wisher of theirs and had come to warn them that Vishnu had pledged to kill them.
After Narada left, Brahma went to Lanka. The brothers greeted Brahma and asked for the reason for the visit. Brahma said You are dear to me, as you always pray to me. I want you to rule in peace. That is my wish but you never abide by that and are always performing evil deeds. The Gods are not thinking ill of anyone then why do you attack the Gods and take their places away from them. Anyone who is jealous of the Gods and the Brahmans, invites misfortune. Leave your ways else Vishnu will put an end to you.
Saying this Brahma left. Malyavan said the the three brothers could kill Vishnu together. Sumali said he had heard Vishnu was very strong. He had killed rakshasas like Hiranyakashipu. Who could kill one like this? Mali said a war was needed. The three brothers would have fight united. First target would be Vishnu, then other Gods, brahmans and enlightened people. Then the heaven would be won.
Chariots were made ready and the three brothers attacked Vaikuntha. Vishnu appeared riding on Garuda. A fight started with weapons being showered on Vishnu which was combated by him. The army of rakshasas fell. Sumali and Mali then hit Garuda on his head. Garuda, hurt, started fleeing. Vishnu managed to calm Garuda and steer him back.
With his discus, Vishnu cut off the head of Mali. Malyavan and Sumali, seeing this, fled. Going some distance, they decided to return back. Malyavan said he would kill Vishnu. Vishnu said he had promised the Gods that he would end the lives of the rakshasas. With a fiery weapon, Vishnu burnt Malyavan. Seeing this, the rakshasas fled to the nether world. Lanka was empty.
Vishnu made Kubera king of Lanka.
