All the Gods bowing before Vishnu started praising him. Anata Vasuki with his thousand hoods was sheilding the Lord. The Gods said -
You are consciousness ; You are the state of sleep; You are the state of being awake; Please help us.
Seeing Brahma and the other Gods, Vishnu sat up. He looked around He saw the Gods around but no joy on their faces. He asked the reason for the sorrow.
Brahma asked Indra to explain the situation. He said tell him, that it is because of a boon of mine, that Ravana is behaving so.
The guru of Gods, Brihaspati, approached Vishnu. He said - You are the Lord of all. You know what is in the mind of the Gods. The son of Rishi Vishrava, Ravana, has got boons from Brahma. The boons have made him invincible and he has made life miserable for the Gods. He has made Yama his slave. The Sun cannot rise or set without his wish. Varuna has no control over his waters. Agni's glare is lost. Kubera has lost his land and wealth. All are afraid of Ravana. Brahma's boon is such that even Brahma is scared. The Gods are not able to take it any more. They need your help. You are the one who can defeat and kill Ravana.
Hearing this, Vishnu flared up. He asked Garuda to get ready and he said with his Chakra, he would cut off the head of Ravana.
Brahma stopped him. He said Ravana can be killed only by a human. Please save us all by taking birth as a human.
Vishnu decided to take birth on Earth.
Brahma said let me tell you more. Surya is a door keeper in Lanka. Indra makes garlands for him and Chandra, the moon, holds the umbrella over him. Agni is his cook and Varuna gets him water when he needs it. Yama has become the horse keeper for Ravana and cuts grass for his horses. Shani is his washerman. I have become a teacher in a school in Lanka. Narada has become a singer in his court.
Vishnu asked Brahma where should he take birth. Brahma said Please take birth as the son of Kaushalya, wife of Dashratha in Ayodhya.
Vishnu said he would be born as a son of Kaushalya. In a previous birth, Dashratha and Kaushalya had been granted a boon that Vishnu would be born as their son.
He then asked the Gods to be born as monkeys and with his help, he would kill Ravana.
Lakshmi wanted to know what would she do and when would she get to see Vishnu again? Vishnu asked Brahma where would Lakshmi be?
Brahma said Lakshmi had a big role to play in the death of Ravana. As one not born from a human, she would born from the earth and be the daughter of Janaka, King of Mithila.
