NASIK - TRIYAMBAKEWSAR JYOTIRLINGA

So they approached Siva, who reaching the scene - with ungovernable anger proclaimed that Brahma was liar, and so He should go without temple and worship in the world; for, if a liar were to be let off -- go Scot free, there would be total chaos. His curse met with a counter; for, Brahma too rising to the occasion said in a diction equally of vehement that SIVA would be hurled down to Bhuloka and remain in the form of mountain; for, he said that anger is no solution to any problem, and if it is not kept under control the result would be as disastrous as the lie that upsets the normalcy in the general scheme of working, when planets would go out the orbits, resulting in everything ending in chaos. A curse if once uttered runs its course and can never go waste, so no temples were built for Brahma. And for Siva, He found Himself laying in the form of mountain near Tryambak. Later, after passing of r^ the wave of anger, Siva was pleased to associate Himself with Brahma in His mountain form; for, both as the highest gods diverted from the righteous course. Hence the mountain is called thenceforth as the Brahmagiri standing testimony of the effect of lie and anger.
