Explanation

Ravana was a direct descendant of Lord Brahma, being the grandson of Brahma's son Pulastya (sage Pulastya). His father was the sage Visrava (Visravas), making him part of a distinguished Brahminical lineage despite his demon king status. This Brahmin heritage is why Rama performed his last rites - Ravana was a Brahmin by birth.
