पुराणम्
Englishचन्द्रहास म् / CANDRAHĀSA (M). Rāvaṇa's sword. rāvaṇa, in the course of his triumphal tour after receiving the boons from Brahman, subjugated kings, and marching northward reached the valleys of Mount kailāsa. But, Nandikeśvara stopped him there, and rāvaṇa, threatening to throw away śiva, master of Nandikeśvara along with kailāsa, put his twenty hands under it to pull it out, and the great mountain shook violently. pārvatī got frightened and running upto śiva embraced him. śiva, who divined the reason for all these with his eye of supreme knowledge grounded the mountain firmly on earth, crushing Rāvaṇa's hands under it. Unable to take away his arms from under the mountain, rāvaṇa remained there for about thousand years singing the praises of the Lord. At last śiva appeared to rāvaṇa and presented him with a sword called candrahāsa. It was this sword which won victories for rāvaṇa in future wars. (uttara rāmāyaṇa).
