VARAMAṆI. A beetle made of jewel. Brahmā had given a boon that only he who fought with this jewel-beetle in his mouth could kill Pātāla Rāvaṇa. This secret was known only to the giants, such as Rāvaṇa and others. This Varamaṇi was kept in an underground cell of a harem near the Kālī temple in the Pātāla.
