Lord Brahma had given this boon


Once Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Vibhishana performed severe penance to Brahmaji. Brahma was very pleased with the rigorous penance of the three and asked for a boon. After which Ravana asked for immortality as a boon from Brahma. Brahmaji was helpless with this boon and said that no creature could be given the boon of immortality. So you asked for some other boon, but Ravana remained adamant.

Due to Ravana’s stubbornness, Brahmaji gave him a special type of arrow and said that only with the strike of this arrow can you face death. Apart from this, you will not die from any weapon. Ravana now knew that only this arrow could kill him. Therefore Ravana got that arrow stuck in the wall near the throne of his palace. Whenever he sat on his throne, he knew where the arrow was. But apart from Ravana, only his wife Mandodari knew this secret.

Mandodari had revealed the secret in this way


When Shri Ram failed to kill Ravana in the war, Vibhishana told him that there was an Amrit paan in Ravana’s navel. Which can be pierced only by the arrow given by Lord Brahma. But Vibhishana did not know where those arrows were.

The responsibility of knowing this secret was entrusted to Hanumanji. Hanuman Ji took the form of an astrologer and went to Lanka and started telling the future to the people. Hearing their discussion, Mandodari also came to know her future. Where Hanuman, who became an astrologer, said that Ravana was in trouble due to the arrow given by Brahma.

So directly or indirectly Mandodari was also the reason behind Ravana’s death

Then Mandodari said that this cannot happen, that arrow is safe behind the pillar of the throne. After finding out this secret, Hanumanji went to that place brought the arrow, and handed it over to Shri Ram. Then what… God killed Ravana with the same arrow. In this way, the prediction made by Hanuman Ji as an astrologer proved to be correct.
