they were born as Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha in the Krita Yuga, to Diti - daughter of Daksha Prajapathi - and sage Kashyapa, who were killed by Vishnu Varaha avatar (a boar) and Narasimha avatar (a man-lion) in the Satya Yuga.
-
In their second life...
they were born as Ravana and Kumbhakarna
and were killed by Vishnu's Rama avatar in the Treta Yuga.
-
In their third life...
they were born as Shishupala and Dantavakra
who were killed by Vishnu's Krishna avatar in the Dwapara Yuga.
It has been noted by many...
that the strengths of Jaya and Vijaya gradually declined with each subsequent birth.
Vishnu needed one avatar each to kill Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu.
Born as Rama he was able to vanquish both Ravana and Kumbhakarna.
In his Krishna avatar the killing of Shishupala and Dantavakra is not the main focus, but more to reduce the 'bhoobhara" (the burden on mother earth by too many sinners).
