As boon, Ravana demanded to take away Goddess Parvati to Lanka. Shiva had no choice but to allow him to take her to Lanka.

When Parvati heard this, she decided to teach Ravana a lesson for coveting on another person’s wife. She caught a female frog and transformed it into a damsel who looked quite similar to her.

Ravana saw the damsel and thinking her to be Goddess Parvati, carried her away to Lanka and made her his chief queen Mandodari. Manduka means a female frog.
