On Mount Kailasa, where Shiva sports, Ravana's chariot is halted
Full sarga summary
On Mount Kailasa, where Shiva sports, Ravana's chariot is halted -- Nandi bars his way, and when Ravana mocks his monkey-face, Nandi curses that monkeys will arise to destroy his race -- arrogantly Ravana tries to uproot the mountain, but Shiva pins it with his toe, crushing his arms -- after a thousand years of crying out and praise, Shiva, who names him 'Ravana,' releases him and grants the sword Chandrahasa -- Ravana resumes harassing the kings of the earth.
