Because he had killed Ravana, a Brahmin, he thought he was being pursued by Bramhaasthi dosham (a evil black shadow).

At this point, he stops the Vimana and pleads Lord Shiva for help.

Shankari Shakthi Peetam Temple: A little shrine adjacent to Koneswaram temple holds some significance for Hindu pilgrims.
