win. Parvati immediately noticed this. At the end of the game, she wanted Maha Vishnu to
declare who was the winner. Parvati was really the winner, but Siva had requested that he
should be declared the winner. Thus, Maha Vishnu was placed in a dilemma. Maha Vishnu
replied that he was
Absent-minded and could not follow the game properly as he was looking with wonder at the
matted hair of Lord Siva. Parvati was not satisfied with this reply. As it happens with
womenfolk, Parvati took it to heart and was disappointed at the reply of MahaVishnu, which
she never expected. As she was sure that she had won the game, she said: "The eyes of
Lord Siva will never utter a lie. I shall place my hands on Siva's three eyes to close
them. If they do not glitter, the judgment will be in my favor." Saying this, Parvati
put her hands sportingly on the eyes of Lord Siva. Then a great gloom shrouded the
Universe. |
