Seeing this, Ravana asked her what she was doing. She said that she was worshiping a

Shiva-Linga. Ravana said, "You being my mother, it is a great misfortune that you should earthen Shiva Ling. Well what do you intend to achieve by this worship?" Mother replied that thereby she would get a place in Kailas, abode of Shiva after death. Thereupon Ravana said, `why do you take so much troubles? I shall bring Kailas itself to you'. Saying this, he went to Kailas and began to shake it violently with his 20 hands. He tried to lift it up. Due to this action of his, 7 Patals were shaken, Shesh moved his hood, the tortoise began to tremble with fear. Amarpur (capital of Indra the King of Gods) and Heaven were

shocked. Parvati went to Shri Shiva with fear and said, `What has happened to Kailas to day? When everyone was distress how are you lying at ease? Please do something to check this calamity.' Shri Shiva said to her, `You need not be anxious. Ravana, one of my devotees, is playing a game'. Parvati entreated, `Kindly protect the Gods who terrified'. Shri Shiva pressed Ravana’s 10 heads and 20 hands underneath the Kailas. Finding himself in

distress, Ravana uttered `Shiva-Shiva' and further prayed `Shri Shiva', I have made a mistake. For give me. I seek your shelter. Kindly do not kill me, your devotee.' His prayer pleased Shri Shiva, who is very simple and kind,, so he took him up from breath. Ravana then cut his head, turned his hands into violin, he attached his intestines to serve as musical wires.
