Story (english)

It is believed that before going for the battle with Rama, Ravana deposited his soul with a hermit called Fire-Eye. The hermit was supposed to guard Ravana’s soul and keep it safe until he came back for it. During the battle, Rama was surprised to see that none of the arrows that struck Ravana could harm him. The secret about Ravana’s soul was known to one of Rama’s allies, who transformed himself into Ravana and went to the hermit asking to return his soul. As soon the soul was set free, Rama killed the demon king Ravana.
