This content was originally posted by: lola610A question of my own - anybody know the source of the story we get in ASR, when Shri Ram enters Mata Kaikeyi's chamber first upon returning to Ayodhya and gives everyone a big surprise by revealing that her hand in his exile was really all for the best? He mentions that during her youth, her dad's kingdom was tormented by Ravan's grandfather Sumaali and his demonic associates, and she made a vow that she would somehow or the other cause his downfall. Something like that. I really liked that revelation because of the redemptive aspect of it, very comforting thought.

This content was originally posted by: JanakiRaghunath^ I read a story from another version where Ravan battles Dashrath as well. It had nothing about Kaikeyi in it, but it did alude to the ASR story that Ravan had insulted Kaikeyi's kingdom before coming there, and that he had been cursed by someone there as a result (Kaikeyi perhaps?). In this story, Ravan insults Kaushalya by telling her to come to Lanka as its queen, and he indicates his thigh to her (kind of like how Duryodhan did to Draupadi), and Kaushalya vows that the son born to her and Dashrath will kill him to avenge this insult.
I'll try to find this story...it would help though if I knew where it came from.

wow.. from where are these stories coming from?? from authentic sources? I actually never heard of such thing ..always thought that it was lord vishnu who was behind everything and always devs had problem with growing asurs and they visit lord vishnu which results into vishnu's another incarnation :) simple theory ;)Janki ji, I would love to read more about what you posted ..
