==History==<br />
Once [[Kamadhenu]] had to face the wrath of [[Indra]], and got a curse. In order to get rid from the curse she asked the advice of [[Kapila]] [[Rishi|Munivar]]. He, in turn, advised her to keep her two ears filled with water and to worship Shiva. While she was practising it daily, Shiva in order to test her came in the guise of a tiger and told her that he would kill. Later Shiva, along with his consort gave [[Darśana|darshan]] to her. She got rid out of the curse.<ref name="dinamalar"/><br />
