After a series of conquests, the demon king Ravana attempts to move Mount Kailash because it stands in his way, mocking the attendants of Lord Shiva. To punish his arrogance, Shiva effortlessly pins Ravana's arms under the mountain with his big toe. Ravana, realizing his folly, spends a thousand years singing hymns of praise to Shiva, eventually earning the god's grace and a divine sword.
