He could not understand how these immortalized souls perform any sinful rite by sacrificing animals etc. on the eighty four lakh Kundis to torment him. After a lot of thinking he realized that it was the wizardry of Ravana and not the effect of the unfavourable stars, which was responsible for his suffering. He also realized that Ravana had circulated books and almanacs, which were not authentic religious texts. Earlier, when Shanishchara had not been tormented by means of the sinful rite performed on the eighty four lakh Kundis, he too considered those books which devout people were reading with great reverence, to be the authentic ancient texts.
It was only after he was tortured, did he introspect that a devout and religious minded person is protected by 32 Lakshanas (characteristics) but in spite of his being a truly devout person he had to undergo tortures. Then he concluded that it was due to some kind of mystic ritual being performed by Ravana secretly. Although to all appearances he seemed well disposed to Shanishchara. He wore this mask because he didnt want to be exposed. After ascertaining that Ravana was indulging in a sinful activity, Shanishchara shared his experiences with the people of the world who were busy reading the Vedas, the Shashtras and other scriptures and told them that they should be on their guard because Ravana was performing at a secret place the sacrificial rite on the eighty four lakh Kundis which they were reading about in those books,
He further told them that the books, almanacs etc. making prognoses about unfavourable planetary positions, outbreak of epidemics, ominous eclipses, conflicts and bloodshed etc., were the product of Ravana who wanted to strike terror in the minds of the holy men and others. God is kind to all without discrimination, In His dispensation both lions and goats flock together. It was not God's curse but Ravana"s diabolism which was troubling him, he told the people. Ravana was performing it at some secret place by sacrificing animals.
When Shanishchara. approached Lord Ramachandra and other divinities and told them about Ravana's sin and when the demoniac texts of Ravana were studied by Lord Ramachandra and other kings, they came to know how widespread Ravana's sin was. Having traced the secret network of Ravana's sinful activity, they assured the people that those who are religious minded would be awarded for their noble deeds whereas those who were indulging in sinful act and injustice to others would be punished. When the misdeeds and falsehood of Ravana came to light, they felt concerned for the people who had lost their sense of judgement owing to Ravana's diabolism to the extent that they were praising him.. The books produced and circulated by Ravana were full of bizarre details of irrational stories and various myths and falsehood.
The horrific description of the eighty four lakh Kundi,~, the story of someone placing Earth between his jaws and of someone else putting the sun and the moon in his month, the bizarre incidents of alcohol turning into milk and of meat turning into jaggery, the unbelievable incidents of the dead men coming back to life, were some of the contents of those books. These books and other texts were seized by the Kings. Shanishchara told them the secret of the miracle in which a person who died at a young age was revived by the touch of a holyman. In fact Ravana performed the sacrificial ritual on the eighty four lakh Kundis to curse an individual as a result of which he died prematurely. The moment Ile stopped the ritual, that person came back to life.
A person who is dead can not be revived by the touch of anybody. In fact people are dying at very young age because of being practised by some unscrupulous elements. Now If they want him to revive, they stop the ritual which they were performing to curse him. Meanwhile some holy man comes and touches him and he gets up.
People think that the holy man has some miraculous power and thus they begin to praise him. Then these holy men start claiming that they have done a lot of bhakti (devotion) which has earned them this miraculous power by which they can bring a dead person back to life. If the touch of some holy man fails to bring a dead person back to life, they say that he had not done sufficient bhakti and that"s why he has not been blessed with the miraculous powers.
The holy men whose touch cures a sick man think that they are extraordinary human beings endowed with a supernatural power. They do not know that it is not their power which has cured a patient or revived a dead person, but the diabolic game which is causing premature death and then revival of a person.
A person who dies after completing his life span, cannot come back to life. Only a person who dies prematurely can be brought back to life by the diabolic power. The effect of diabolism is all pervading. Under its influence people can neither think nor see properly. To a person under its influence, alcohol looks like milk meat looks like jaggery and water looks like ghee. Miracles 'If this kind are given wide publicity by means of pamphlets and books. Even the religious minded Sadhus are influenced by them so Much so that they forget God. Shanishchara brought such books and pamphlets (miracles) to the notice of the rulers of those times.
While showing the books and other writings meant for or furthering Ravana's diabolic plan, Shanishchara told the kings and those in power that the poor Sadhus and faqirs are not to blame because they were not in their senses. Their intellectual faculty had been captivated by Ravana. People in whose homes those books were found got terribly scared and realized that Ravana had done a lot of injustice to them by planting those books in their homes in order to get them and their offspring destroyed. if according to Ravana"s plan, the powerful rulers of foreign lands had come across these books, they would have instantly come to the conclusion that the Indian people including their rulers were indulging in inhuman act of diabolism. Sensing this, the people and the rulers of India informed the foreign powers about the secret designs of Ravana.
