They were satisfied with all that they had, but being called a childless woman was unbearable for the woman. One fine day she succeeded in getting Lord Shiva’s propitiation and instantly asked for a child as a boon. Lord Shiva asked the couple to worship a Linga placed in a secluded place in the forest. Both followed the deity’s advice; however, unfortunately, the man got bit by a snake while he was on his way to collect flowers for the Puja.
