Ravana tried to maneuver mount Kailash. To curb Ravan’s ego, Lord Shiva pressed Ravan beneath the mountain by making use of the burden of only a toe.
Ravan was an amazing scholar. He was a pandit in Sanskrit.
Humbled , he spontaneously composed a hymn glorifying Lord Shiva.
This hymn is known as Shiva Tandava Stotram.
