By time all the seven yajñas, viz. Agniṣṭoma, Aśvamedha, Bahusvarṇa, Vaiṣṇava, Māheśvara, Rājasūya and Gosava were over, Rāvaṇa returned to Laṅkā and sage Śukra gave him details about the yajñas conducted by his son Meghanāda. Rāvaṇa did not like the Vaiṣṇava yāga performed by his son, and Śukra, who got angry at this cursed, Rāvaṇa that he would meet with his death at the hands of Viṣṇu.
