Back in his palace, a furious Ravana begins to destroy everything he sees. Seeing this, Mandodari calls her father, Mayasura, one of the few people that Ravana will listen to. When he reaches the palace, Mayasura brings Ravana to his senses and asks him what happened.
Ravana: Kubera would not allow me to borrow his vimana. When I asked if you could study it for reverse engineering, he refused again.
Mayasura: Well, from Kubera’s perspective, he did the right thing. You lost your temper because your wish was rejected. Instead of wasting your energy destroying things, why don’t we channelise it to build?
