Tirupathi Sri Venketeswara Story and Mahatyam Part 5
Kailash is a silver mountain. It is the abode of Lord Siva. Lord Shiva is also known as Maheswara. One day Nandeswara, Bringeswara, Chandeswara, and all other disciples were chanting the names of Lord Siva and the entire mountain was echoing with those prayers. All were absorbed in the chanting.
At that time Brighu muni came there. He was directly proceeding into the Siva's apartment. That was a private room. And Lord Siva was in company with his wife, Parvathi. But Brighu muni was warned by the guards near the entrance not to enter into that room because Lord Siva was in privacy with his wife. But brighu did not heed his warning. He entered in.
At that tile Lord Siva and mother, Parvathi was in intimacy. On seeing Brighu, Parvathi grew shy. She at once fled to aside of the room. Siva got wild. H burst out: "you Brighu, you belong to the same race as the creator. You have learned the Vedas. You have done great penance and acquired more powers. Still you have not learned decency. You are lacking in manners. It is a shame on your part to be so". So saying, He took his trisul to aim at Brighu. But Parvathi intervened and stopped him. Siva was soon calmed.
It was now Brighu's turn. He grew angry at Siva. He said; Maheswara, Siva, Sankara, even without knowing the reason for my coming here, you were to aim trisul at me. Therefore, you hold this my curse- "You will be worshipped in the temples on earth in the shape of only Linga instead of your real shape." Saying so, Brighu left the place and proceeded to Vaikunta.
