When pralya happened Shri Brahma and Vishnu argued with each other who is great
Then a beam of fire pillar aroused between them
Brahma and Vishnu decided to find start and end point of that fire pillar
When brahma couldn't find top of fire pillar and he lied

As per his Leela Brahma head stuck with his hand
Brahmahatti dosha too in form of woman followed him
He with his skull stuck in his hands roamed around all worlds
When he reached vaikuntha Vishnu suprised and Said these words to his wife Lakshmi

What is this Leela of Shiva that brahmahatti is following him ?
He is supreme destroyer of all
He destroys 3 world with his dance
He wore skulls of great rishis as his mala
Still his leelas are infinite
Pleased with Vishnus words kalabhairava praised Vishnu

According to advice of Shri Vishnu kalabhairava went to kashi
Moment he reached kashi he created kapal Mochan kund and washed his skull in kund and skull detached from his hands
Brahmahatti dosha too ran away screaming
He decided to stay at kashi forever
