Translation:
He became pleased with ten-headed Ravana, and also with Bana, when they each chanted his glories, like bards in a royal court. Lord Siva then bestowed unprecedented power upon each of them, but in both cases he was consequently beset with great difficulty.
Purport:
Ravana worshiped Lord Siva to gain power and then misused that power to uproot the lord’s residence, sacred Kailasa-parvata. On Banasura’s request, Lord Siva agreed to personally guard Bana’s capital, and later he had to fight for Bana against Sri Krsna and His sons.
