<P> Pratapbhanu is reborn as Ravan, Arimardam is reborn as Kumbhkarna and Dharmaruchi as Vibhishan . All three take great penances and are approached by Brahma and Shiva and are asked for any boon . Ravan asks that no one should be able to kill me except the tribes of man and monkeys . Kumbhkarna asks for uninterrupted sleep for periods of six months . Vibhishan asks for unshakeable love for the feet of Vishnu . </P> <P> The story of how Shiva came about retelling Ramkatha to his consort Parvati is retold in great detail within the Bālakāṇḍa . This part of the story is narrated by Sant Yajnavalkya to Bharadvaj Muni . </P> <P> In the age of Treta, Shiva, accompanied by His consort Bhavani Sati, went to visit Rishi Agastya . The Rishi being pleased with Shiva's visit, began to narrate the eternal story of Ram . Shiva listens with great pleasure and then they return towards Their abode . Around these exact days Ram had descended on earth and was wondering the Dandaka forest with Sita and Lakshman . Shiva ponders how he can catch sight of Ram . He finally sees Ram, who is frantically searching for Sita, and instantly joins his palms and prays "Glory to the Redeemer of the universe, who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss". Sati cannot recognise Ram and wonders why her Supreme Shiva is praising a mortal . Shiva is the knower of all truth and instantly reads Sati's thoughts . He advises her to not harbour such doubts and accept that she had seen Ram, whom Agastya had praised earlier . He finally says that if she is still not convinced then she should seek to verify this truth herself . Shiva observes as Sati takes the guise of Sita . Ram and Lakshman instantly see through Sati's disguised and asks about Shiva's whereabouts . Sati feels very uncomfortable and heads towards Shiva, thinking of how she is going to explain her folly of questioning His word . </P> <P> Shiva asks her to tell the truth of how she tested Ram . Sati is unable to tell the truth and says that she did not test Ram, but praised his as You had . Sati forgets that Shiva knows all that has happened and is disappointed that she was disguised as his Sita . He decides that Sati is too chaste to abandon and it is a sin to continue to be her Husband and so from then he has no connection with Sati in her current body . Sati concludes that Shiva has come to know everything and feels very foolish for having tried deceiving Him . Shiva sits under a banyan tree and enters into a long trance . Sati feel extremely sorry but accepts that providence is repaying her for her sins . Many years pass and Shiva finally ends his trance whilst praising Ram . Sati bows down at Shiva's feet, after which he seats Sati opposite him and he begins to tell stories of Vishnu's exploits . </P>
