Paulashya is probably a corruption of paulastya gotra, which implies descent from Rshi pulastya. This comes under the Bhrgu family.
My sandhyAvandanam book lists 3 variations for the pravaras. Two are tryArsheya (3 Rshis) and one is panchArsheya (5 Rshis) :-
1. BhArgava, chyAvana, jAmadagnya
2. BhArgava, aurva, jAmadagnya
3. BhArgava, chyAvana, ApnavAna, aurva, baida
rAvaNa belonged to paulastya gotra. pulastya's son was visravas. His son was rAvana.
