glory of Maha Shivratri. Once upon a time, there lived a priest called
Gurudruh.

family, from hunger, asked him to bring some meals 1 day. In the woods, he
drifted here and there in search of his quarry but found none until the sunset.

He decided to continue his search into the darkness of the
night. At the woods, close a pond, he climbed up a tree sat awaiting his quarry
and named Bilva. In the last, he chanced to have a thirsty deer over there. He
tried to kill him but he did not succeed.
Thus, four attempts were made by him at different periods of the evening and failed every time. But something that happened to make all of the difference over there was that every time when he attempted to kill the deer some of the water he needed in a pot tucked into his waist and a number of leaves of this tree fell into a Shivalinga lying beneath precisely the exact same tree.
