story According to another level, once Daksha Prajapati organized a grand havan, and in that havan, Lord Shiva was greatly insulted.
Mother Sati could not bear it, and she set herself on fire. Due to this incident, Bholanath was so broken that he practiced severe penance for many years.
It is to be mentioned that mother Sati was reborn as the daughter of the Himalayas with time. But Lord Shiva was so engrossed in his meditation that he did not realize anything. All the deities wanted mother Parvati to be reunited with Shivaji soon.
All the efforts of the gods and goddesses failed. Then finally, Lord Cupid was called for help. Cupid tried in various ways to distract Lord Shiva, but he failed. Cupid then shot a flower arrow from behind a mango tree, which went straight to Shivaji’s heart and distracted him.
Mahakala became so angry at the distraction that he consumed Cupid with his third eye. Now the gods were satisfied that Bholanath’s meditation was complete.
But there was also the sad fact that Cupid had to sacrifice his life. When Kamadeva’s wife prayed to Shivaji to resurrect her husband, Shivaji said that Kamadeva would be born as the son of Lord Krishna in Dwapar Yuga.
