Sarg 16 - Raavan Gets Nandee's Shaap

After winning Dhanesh, Raavan went to Shar Van, where Kaartikeya was born. There he saw gold Shar Van from which rays were coming out. Then he came to a Van on a Parvat where Pushpak Vimaan stopped itself. Raavan was thinking as why the Vimaan stopped, that Shiv's Nandee whose color was very black came and said - "Mahaadev plays and entertains Himself on this Parvat, that is why all birds, Naag, Yaksh, Dev, Gandharv, Raakshas etc have been prohibited to come here."

Raavan got very angry to hear this. His ear rings shook, eyes got red, he came down of his Vimaan. "Who is this Shankar?" saying he came to the base of the Parvat. He saw there Nandee standing near Shiv-like another Shiv carrying Shool (spear). Raavan laughed seeing Nandee in Vaanar form. Nandee said to Raavan in anger - "You have made a mockery of my Vaanar form that is why Vaanar like me will destroy your family. Nails and teeth will be their weapons. These Vaanar's speed will be as fast as mind's speed."

Without paying any attention to Nandee's words Raavan said to him - "This Parvat has stopped my Vimaan, that is why I will dig out the whole Parvat on the basis of whose prosperity Shiv entertains here like a king." And he started lifting that Parvat. Parvat got shaken, Shiv Gan got worried and frightened. Parvatee Je clung to Shiv Jee. Mahaadev just touched the Parvat with the big toe of His foot [and it stabilized]. This hurt Raavan's arms and he started crying loudly. Raavan's ministers took that cry as Pralay, Devtaa trembled, Samudra (sea) got angry and Parvat also shook. Raavan's ministers advised him "to please Neelkanth Mahaadev (Shiv), otherwise nobody else can help you in this situation". So on his ministers' advice Raavan prayed Mahaadev in various ways.

Mahaadev got pleased after 1,000 years. He released Raavan's arms and said to him - "Because of the loud cry you made because your arms got hurt, your name will be Raavan. Now you can go anywhere without any problem."  Dashaanan said - "If you are pleased with me then give me this Var that Devtaa, Gandharv, Daanav, Raakshas, Guhyak cannot kill me - I have got this Var from Brahmaa too. Give me longer life than Brahmaa gave it to me." So at the prayer of Raavan, Mahaadev increased his age and gave him a sword name Chandrahaas. Thus after getting the Var from Mahaadev Raavan again boarded his Vimaan and started torturing Rishi and Muni of Prithvi. Who objected him they got killed; who were intelligent, they accepted their defeat."
