At some point, the sages saw a more unusual strolling towards their home. They saw that despite the fact that the outsider was wearing sage's saffron garments, he didn't look anything like one. He was tall, very much fabricated and was conveying weapons. On observing the brilliant handle of the blade, they perceived the outsider to be the Pandava ruler, Arjuna. 

One of the sages murmured, "The Pandavas were ousted from their realm, subsequent to losing a round of dice with Duryodhana. Be that as it may, what is Prince Arjuna doing here?" 

Arjuna strolled quietly to a separated spot and plunked down to cause a lingam from mud to perform serious compensations to Lord Shiva. He didn't stop his atonement for anything. Following a couple of months, the earth around him couldn't bear the warmth of his atonement and began exuding dark smoke around him. The smoke spread all through Mount Indrakila, and the sages fled to Mount Kailash. 

They moved toward Lord Shiva, who was sitting alongside Goddess Parvati, and argued to intercede. Master Shiva grinned and answered, "It would be ideal if you return to Mount Indrakila. I will settle your concern." 

After the sages left, Lord Shiva could see questions obfuscating the Goddess Parvati's' face. He asked her, "What is disturbing you? Try not to spare a moment to inquire." 

Goddess Parvati asked him, "For what reason is Arjuna performing such extreme repentance?" He answered, "In light of the fact that he needs honored weapons for the approaching war." She despite everything had her questions and asked, "Do you accept that he will utilize the weapons shrewdly and reasonably?" "Well, we should locate that out," he answered. 

Master Shiva enlightened her concerning his arrangement to test Arjuna. He masked himself as a Kirata Chief (Kirata is a tribe of mountain occupants), and solicited Goddess Parvati and some from his supporters to take on the appearance of Kirata ladies. 

At the point when they were approaching Mount Indrakila, Goddess Parvati pointed at a wild hog at some separation and stated, "That doesn't seem as though a customary hog." Lord Shiva took a gander at it and stated, "You are correct. That resembles the asura, Muka. He appears to heading towards the sages to upset their petitions." 

Ruler Shiva targeted the devil with his bow and bolt, yet the evil spirit detected the nearness of Lord Shiva and fled. Ruler Shiva pursued him to the wise's homestead, and when the sages saw the hog charging towards them they began running, shouting for help

Muka raced to the spot where Arjuna was playing out his atonement. Arjuna detected the pig's essence and opened his eyes. He took up his bow and bolt to slaughter it. At the point when Lord Shiva additionally arrived at the spot, he stated, "stop! That is my prey. You can't execute it." Arjuna couldn't perceive Lord Shiva in camouflage and answered, "I won't put down my bow. In the event that you are a genuine tracker focus and execute it." 

Both shot their bolts at the pig. When bolts penetrated, the creature continued its unique wicked self and kicked the bucket. The Kirata ladies viewing the evil spirit tumble down to his demise, begun moving and celebrating. 

Be that as it may, it was not satisfactory who had struck the pig first, and neither one of the parties was prepared to surrender rout. The Kirata ladies contended, "He is lying, O boss! You murdered the pig before him." Arjuna didn't care to be offended so tested the Kirata boss for a duel. 

Before long, bolts began flying among Arjuna and Lord Shiva. They heaved their best bolts at one another, however neither of them was harmed. Out of nowhere, Arjuna understood that his bunch of bolts was finished. Ruler Shiva grinned at him and offered, "You can obtain a few bolts from me." Hearing this, the Kirata ladies began deriding Arjuna. 

Arjuna indignantly tossed his bow at the tracker, who got it, tore the string and flung it away. Not ready to control his indignation, Arjuna took his blade, and accused him of everything his strength. The blade broke down into blossoms as it struck the tracker. Everybody was astonished to see the marvel, and the Kirata ladies cheered their boss. 

Declining to lose, Arjuna got a tree with his uncovered hands and heaved it at the tracker, who avoided it without any problem. Incapable to surrender rout, he chose to petition Lord Shiva for quality. He plunked down before the lingam and began reciting "Om Namah Shivaya" and set a wreath on the lingam. 

Before long, he felt quality imbue his body. Upbeat that his petitions had been heard, he turned towards the Kirata tracker and stated, "Burden Shiva had favored me with quality. Come, how about we see who wins now." But as he saw the lingam was lying around the tracker's neck. 

At the point when Arjuna understood that the Kirata boss was in all honesty Lord Shiva in mask, he bowed before him and stated, "If it's not too much trouble excuse me, Lord. I didn't have the foggiest idea who I was battling." Lord Shiva answered, "O courageous sovereign, you have assuaged me with your commitment. I award you this Pashupata, the favored bolt to help you in your war." 

A long time later, during Mahabharata, Arjuna utilized the Pashupata bolt to vanquish Karna.. 

Next the sages brought foam a detestable evil spirit overshadow, Mulayaka, from the fire. The devil charged at the youthful sage. Master Shiva continued his actual from, and with no trouble, squashed Mulayaka to its demise with his feet. 

On understanding that the anger of the sages isn't decreasing. Master Shiva began moving, joined by heavenly music. His captivating presentation conciliated the sages, and the world halted to watch him move. The beat of his damru turned into the heartbeat of the world, the divine water spilling out of his braids lit up his body and his body immersed the entire universe. Such was Lord Shiva's move that it got representative of the apparent multitude of normal laws of the world, communicated delightfully.
