The shaking KAILASHA, Petrifies PARVATHI, Gods, Rishi’s and Gana’s. LORD SHIVA presses the KAILASHA Mountain with his toe, which stops the shaking and traps and crushes RAVANA. The suffocated RAVANA realizes that he might be very mighty, but is not equal to even the pressure of the toe of LORD SHIVA.
