Ravana Performed an intense penance for numerous years in order to please and get a boon from the Lord Brahma. During his penance, Ravana chopped off his head about ten times as a sacrifice to please Lord Brahma. Each time, he cut his head off, a new head arose, thus enabled him to continue his penance. Atlast, Lord Brahma got pleased with Ravana's penance and appeared before him after his 10 decapitation and told him to ask for a boon.
