परवादे दशवदनः पररन्ध्रनिरीक्षणे सहस्राक्षः।

In this slokam the nasty and unjust behaviour of lowly people is comapred with the worst role models in their exclusive field of evilactivity.
The ruffian uses foul words and spews out cruel words so loudly and causing so much of hurt as if he is endowed with ten heads and matching mouths just like Ravana of the Ramayana fame. Everyone know how cruel and heartless the demon was. And Ravana met his nemesis too.
In the matter of exploiting the weakness of others, the evil fellow is compared to Indra the leader of Gods. The story of his amorous advances towards Ahalya, the wife of sage Gouthama is famous. He impersonated as the sage and entered his residence while Gautama was away for taking bath, and caused the damage. And through the curse of the sage Indra became thusand-eyed and Ahalya remained as a stone for eons.
Coming to robbery, the vile floow has his roe model in the housand-handed chieftain Karthaveeryaarjuna. It is well known that this thousand-handed ruffian ransacked the hermitage of Sage Jamadagni, the father of the ferocious sage Parashurama. Of course Karthaveeryarjuna paid the price for his misdeed as he was pnished, divested of his hands and finished off by Pasrashurama.
The vile felows are like Ravana, Indra and Karthaveerayaajuna packaged together
