Agastya said - After this, Ravana went to Kushadweepa. There he saw a giant. This person had a body the size of a mountain. Seeing this person Ravana asked for battle.
The person said He would make an end to all Ravana's sufferings.
Angry, Ravana started shooting arrows but the arrows, striking the person, bounced off his body.
Seeing his arrows wasting, Ravana was wondering what to do, when this person came and grasped Ravana. Ravana fainted. Throwing Ravana on the ground, Ravana went from there.
When Ravana regained consciousness, he saw no one around. He asked his army if they knew where that person had gone. The people there said the person had vanished into the nether world.
Ravana went where the person had gone. He saw him resting, being served by beautiful women. Ravana tried to touch the women, but one glance from the person and fire came out of his eyes, and Ravana fell down, hurt.
Ravana then asked Who are you?
The person said I do not see any need to identify myself to you.
Ravana said It seems you are only one who can defeat me.
The person said So be it. Saying, he identified himself and Ravana left the place.
Rama asked Agastya - Who was this person?
Agastya said this was none other Vishnu.
The person said He would make an end to all Ravana's sufferings.
