Rāvaṇa reaches golden Śaravaṇa where Puṣpaka stalls — Mārīca suspects some potent cause — Nandī forbids passage during Śiva sport — Rāvaṇa mocks monkey-faced Nandī — Nandī vows monkeys will destroy his race — Rāvaṇa lifts mountain blocking Puṣpaka — Śiva pins his arms with toe — Rāvaṇa roars shaking three worlds — Śiva pleased names roarer Rāvaṇa — Rāvaṇa bows and roams harassing kings
