Brahmā was in a fix, for he had given Rāvaṇa the boon that the latter would be killed only by a man. At the same time he had given the boon to Kāla that anybody thrashed with his (Kāla’s) club would die. Brahmā, therefore, decided to end the fighting between Kāla and Rāvaṇa somehow, and he approached Kāla and requested him to withdraw from fighting. Accordingly Kāla acknowledged defeat and thus the fighting ended.
