To please Lord Brahma, Ravana went through serious retribution (tapasya) that went on for quite a long while. One day to conciliate Lord Brahma, he chose to slash off his head. At the point when he hacked off his head, it became back once more.

 He continued cleaving off his head till his severity satisfied Lord Brahma. Dazzled by Ravana's commitment, Lord Brahma favored him with ten heads and Ravana got one of the best and the most impressive ruler. The ten heads of Ravana are emblematic of the six Shastras and four Vedas that he aced.
