Raghuveera! Oh, Lakshman! kindly protect us” The several Ravanas created with the illusionary powers of the demon started producing deafening voices, the deities were alarmed “We have lost against the demon Ravana, a single demon put the whole Universe into terror, he has assumed several forms, let us take shelter in the caves.” Thus, all the deities hid inside the caves except Lord Bhrama, Lord Shambhu who knows the amusement of Lord Sri Ramachandra stood firm witnessing the battle between Rama and Ravana.
