"Some Cambodian and Malay versions [of Ramayana] add an interesting variant absent from the Indian retellings: to prepare the medicine, the physician Sushena demands a special rolling pin from Mandodari's kitchen or a small table kept beneath Ravana’s bed. Hanuman enters the place to steal the required object, and while there ties the sleeping Ravana’s and Mandodari’s braids together. He magically charges the knot with a mantra and then writes on the wall that no one can untie until Mandodari strikes Ravana on the forehead with her left hand."
