Starting the “Small Untold Story” between Arjuna & Vyasa about #Shiva

On the 14th day Arjuna & Vyasa share words
Arjuna said ” ‘O great sage! In the battle, while I was slaying the enemy with my bright arrows, I saw a man advancing in front of me. His complexion was like that of the fire.

In whatever direction he advanced, with a blazing and upraised spear, in that direction, the enemy was seen to be shattered. His feet did not touch the earth and he did not hurl his spear. But because of his energy, thousands of spears were released from that spear.

“He is the one who routed the entire enemy, though people think I routed them. From the rear, I only pursued the soldiers whom he had scorched Who was that supreme being? Tell me. He had a spear in his hand and his energy was like that of the sun.’

Vyasa replied, ‘That being is the first among the Prajapatis. He is the lord of all energy. He is the god of the earth, the sky and heaven. He is the lord and god of all the worlds. O Partha! You have seen Shankara, Ishana, who is the granter of boons.

Seek refuge with the god who is the origin of everything. He is the lord of the universe. He is Mahadeva. He is great-souled. He is Ishana. He is the matted Shiva. He is the three-eyed one. He is the mighty-armed Rudra.

He is the one with the tuft on his head. He is the one who is attired in rags. He is the one who is generous towards his devotees. Boons are obtained through his favours. The lord’s companions are divine and have many different forms.

There are dwarfs, those with braided hair, those whose heads are shaved, those who are short in the neck and large in the stomach. Others are giant in form, great in endeavour and some with large ears. O Partha! Their faces and feet are distorted and their garments are strange.

These are the ones who worship Mahadeva Maheshvara. O son! He is Shiva.The energetic one.O Partha! In that fierce battle, when the body hair stood up,it is he who preceded you through his favours.That army was protected by great archers and strikers like Drona,Karna & Kripa.

O Partha! Who other than that great archer and god could think of countering it, even in the mind?

“Now let us see why Lord #Shiva came to fight on behalf of Arjuna during the 14th day”

It all happened because of Krishna and Arjuna asking for boon to lord Shiva
#Shiva granted him the terrible pashupatastra AND THE FULFILMENT OF HIS PLEDGE. The body hair of the invincible one stood up and he thought that his task had been accomplished.

The real essence of the tale of #Mahabharata lies in the stories.

#Mahabharata is the longest story ever written and it was composed in a form which was a mixture of prose and poetry.
