The Play
Ravana is seen recollecting his past deeds when Hanuman had destroyed Lanka. And one of it is when he lifted Mount Kailasam.
Enraged by the words of a messenger
from Vasravana - Ravana's elder brother, Ravana goes to Alakapuri and defeats
Vaisravana and takes possession of Pushpakavimanam. On his journey back, the
celestial chariot gets stuck at Mount Kailasam. Ravana then orders Kailasam to
move away from his path. Seeing the non-responsive mount, Ravana decides to
attack Kailasam. And then he lifts the whole mount in his hands. At that time
there is a quarrel going on in between Lord Siva and Parvathi over goddess
Ganga and Parvathi decides to leave Kailasam to her parents' home. It was when
she starts the journey, Ravana lifts Kailasam. Due to the sudden jerks and vibrations,
she gets scared and returns back to Lord Siva.
Siva then presses the shaky mountain
with his feet, and Ravana's hands come under it. Hearing Ravana's cries, Siva
understands that it was all because of Ravana, the whole mount was shaken.
Pleased at this and at Ravana's devotion of him, Siva blesses with boons and
the sword Chandrahasam. When Parvathi and Nandikeswara also blesses Ravana, he
misbehaves with them and mocks at them. They curse Ravana.
Ravana is now aware that all thiese
mishaps in Lanka are due to the curses. The play ends when Ravana keeps waiting
for his brother Vibheeshana
