Another negative interpretation of Ravana’s 10 heads are the 10 emotions or senses in a human: 1. Kaam (lust) 2. Krodha (anger) 3. Moha (delusion) 4. Lobha (greed) 5. Mada (pride) 6. Maatsarya (envy) 7. Manas (the mind) 8. Buddhi (intellect) 9. Chitta (will), and 10. Ahamkara (ego) Hindu traditions emphasize on the importance of controlling one’s senses and projecting just the intellect alone, which is considered supreme over others. The use of other emotions are considered to be detrimental to the growth of a soul. The great king Mahabali advised Ravana to shun these nine emotions and to keep only intellect to which Ravana justifies that the possession of all these facets are equally important and make him a complete man.
