LORD TRYAMBAKESHWAR OF NASIK

His curse met with a counter; for, Brahma too rising to the occasion said in a diction equally vehement that Siva would be hurled down to Bhuloka and remain in the form of mountain, for he said 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 of the creation their when planets would go out of orbits resulting in everything ending in choas. 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 lay in the form of mountain near Tryambak. Later, after passing of the wave of anger, Siva was pleased to associate himself with Brahma in his mountain form; for, both as the highest gods deviated from the righteous course. Hence the mountain is called thenceforth as the Brahmagiri - a standing testimony of the effect of lie and anger.
