Sūta said:— After securing the great and excellent boon, the great Asura Rāvaṇa returned to his abode and mentioned everything to his beloved wife. He rejoiced much.
देवादय ऊचुः ।। रावणोयं दुरात्मा हि देवद्रोही खलः कुधीः ।। शिवाद्वरं च संप्राप्य दुःखं दास्यति नोऽपि सः ।। २९ ।।
The gods and sages said:— “Rāvaṇa is a wicked knave. He is evil-minded and hater of the gods. After securing the boon from Śiva, he will make us more miserable.
