Parts of the stotra was recreated as a song in the following Indian films: The verses that Ravana sang were collected and became known as the Shiva Tandava Stotra. Since Ravana cried, he was given the name "Ravana" – one who cried. Finally, Shiva not only forgave Ravana but also granted him an invincible sword called the Chandrahasa. Advised by his ministers, Ravana sang hymns in praise of Shiva for a thousand years. However, the omniscient Shiva realized that Ravana was behind the menace and pressed the mountain into place with his big toe, trapping Ravana beneath it. As Kailash began to shake, a terrified Parvati embraced Shiva. He put all his twenty arms under Kailash and started lifting it. In turn, Ravana decided to uproot Kailash, infuriated by Nandi's curse and his inability to proceed further. Enraged by the insult to his lord, Nandi cursed Ravana that monkeys would destroy him.
Nandi informed Ravana that Lord Shiva and Parvati were enjoying dalliance on the mountain and no one was allowed to pass.
Ravana met Shiva's bull-faced dwarf attendant Nandi (Nandisha, Nandikeshvara) at the place and asked the reason behind his chariot's inability to pass over the place. However, the chariot could not fly over it. After the victory, Ravana was returning to Lanka in the Pushpaka Vimana (the flying chariot stolen from Kubera), when he spotted a beautiful place. The Uttara Kanda of the Hindu epic Ramayana records: the ten-headed, twenty-armed mighty King Ravana defeated and looted Alaka – the city of his step-brother and god of wealth Kubera, situated near Mount Kailash.
