RAAVAN, SON OF A RISHI VISHARBHA (BRAHAMAN,A SCION OF WISDOM)  AND The "ASURI" KEKSI (A demon's daughter).
AND THE SUPREME MONARCH OF LANKA, the present day SRI LANKA.

BEING A RISHI'S SON BY BIRTH HE  WAS  KNOWN FOR HIS STRONG  INTELLECT AND WISDOM DESPITE  OF HIS MORALS OF BEING ""RAKSHAS KING" / EVIL DEMON.
The dialogue above tells abt this conversation where, "Raavana speaks to his 'isht' (his idol Lord Shiva ) and admits that his conscious mind  is no longer in his control  but is restrained by the shakti/ power and wisdom he has earned of his keen dedication by the blessing of Shiva.

He says, he is so obsessed of his "Shakti" (powers) itself that he did and does everything  inorder to commit cruelty and injustice to his own folk and even beasts.

This obsession has made him think that he is the sole owner of this "Shakti " which makes his reign universal and un-challenged, giving him a right to do every sin which is unquestioned.
Hence,  he allegedly kidnapped Sita ji, lady of mighty Shree Ram, the crown prince of Ayodhya.



He says, because of these best nurtured values of "Dharma", humanity, manhood, obedience and warriorship inside Shree Ram, along with Shiva himself, entire eternity honours the cult of Shree Ram.

RAAVANA  accepts his guilt, says, he's aware that he shall be punished for all his sins along with this grave sin of having an evil eye on Sita ji, binds her under his custody for a long year inorder to convince her to be his queen and the queen of Lanka, aware of the fact that she already is the "Ardh-angini"/ "an equal half part of the soul " of Shree Ram, as his Lady.

Yet, tells Lord Shiva that if he survives in the war with Ram today...he'll come back and bow him after the war terminates.

But, if he's destined to be punished to death with the sunset,
he is never going to accept the death cowardly but will welcome it with all his Valour and Dignity.....

 That was the Brahman King and the son of a demon mother, Raavana.

That ended with the triumph of truth and righteouness over immorality and evil.

Which is celebrated as Dusshehra in Sanaatan.

Jai Shree Ram

P.S. the remnants of The sacred war is depicted in the Holy Ramayana and at Sri Lanka.
