In one story, this figure is born after his mother sits on a golden throne and immediately gives birth. This man, who outlived his brother, was originally a doorkeeper named Jaya that was turned into a demon by a group of sages unsatisfied with his work. He tried to kill his own son by dropping him into a room full of venomous snakes, but the snakes make a bed for him with their bodies. After he was reincarnated, this ruler was given three boons by Lord Brahma for his asceticism. He used one of those boons to become the Triloka Cakravarti. The festival of (*) Holi is named for this figure's sister, who protected his child Prahlada from his machinations. This younger of two twins is the son of Diti and Kashyapa, and his older brother died when a boar attacked him. This demon hated Lord Vishnu, who eventually killed him in his man-lion form. For 10 points, name this asura who was killed by Narasimha, the brother of the similarly named Hiranayaksha.
