Ravana is shown in a cavern beneath Kailâsa, exerting terrific force in his effort to raise it up. The mountain quakes, and Parvati, Siva's wife, startled by the shock, clutches her husband's arm and cries out, "Some one is moving the mountain; we shall be overthrown!" Her maid is flying in alarm, but Siva, only raising one foot, presses down Kailâsa upon Ravana's head, and holds him fast.
