Verse 14 Rūn. VII 16, 84 mentions, however, that Rāvana propitiated Śiva with sūmans and other stotras, and that he offered his nine heads to fire to win a boon from the god Biahma (Rūm VII. 10, 10-12) But it is nothing very extiao1 dinary to find a worshipper of Śiva, as Bhavabhatı was, mutilating the fact to a certain extent. Cf. also Sisu : sur o'tırāgūd dasamam cihar tisuh, &c
1. 5. harşaśruo. A beautiful metaphor. Rāvaņa compares his faces to lotuses, with beautiful blossoms (smita) and full of honey Smiles are often hkened to blossoms. AB. explains it as 'ūnanda-jala-bahularh smita-sudhodbhāsitarh mama vadana-kamalarh', and entirely spoils the beauty of the line.

See Nātrprakaśıkū II 11 as quoted by Oppert in his Weapons, SC, P 10. ksepyam here is the same as kta weapons, which are twelve in number Cf. the same work, II. 17-18.
