He then composed and recited Shiva Tandav Strotam in praise of Shiva, which convinced shiva of his humility and released him from under the mountain. So he grew repentant and began praying for forgiveness. Ravana who was a great devotee of Shiva realised that his actions and arrogance had upset the almighty. To teach him a lesson for his arrogance, Shiva rested his toe on the ground which was so powerful that it trapped Ravana under the mountain. Suddenly the whole mountain began to shake and they realised that it was Ravana trying to lift mountain. So he set out on his flying chariot to Kailash where Shiva and Parvati were residing. A brilliant yet arrogant idea crossed his mind, he thought what lingam could be more glorious than mount Kailash itself. As per one legend, Ravana being Shivas devotee wanted to have one of the most glorious lingams of Shiva in his backyard so he could worship him. Scriptures provide many different versions of the episode. The Shiva Tandava Stotram is a stotra which describes Shiva's power and beauty. But a fact that's not very well known is that it was composed by none other than Ravana, the Lanka king, who was an ardent devotee of Shiva.
The Shiva Tribe - The Shiva Tandava Stotram is a hymn that unleashes the fury and passion of Shiva.
