==Andhaka became Kamandaka  == Lord Shiva rejoiced in the company of Goddess Parvati. In a joyous mood the Goddess, thought that her Lord’s attention entirely cantered on her. She slipped playfully behind Him. In sport covered fondly the three eyes of Shiva with her two hands resembling lotus petals.

As soon as His three eyes that are the Moon, the Sun, and Fire covered, a dismal darkness spread over the universe. Shiva could not see and everything seemed to be dark to him. The world was plunged in darkness as Shiva’s eyes energized the world.

Lord Shiva opened his third eye and helped the sunlight once again. Light returned to the worlds. The heat of the third eye caused Parvati’s hands that covered Shiva’s left and right eyes to perspire. Parvati’s hands sweated from the exertion and the sweat fell down on the ground transformed into a child called Andhaka, a blind one. The heat of the third eye caused Parvati’s hands that covered Shiva’s left and right eyes to perspire. That perspiration filled with the power of Shiva (heat) and Shakti (water) transformed into a child called Andhaka. Childless Asura Hiranyaksa adopted Andhaka. He grew up never knowing his true origins. Young Andhaka performed great penance and obtained boons and to end life if he ever experienced lust for his mother. Andhaka became Kamandhaka and desired sex with his own mother, so blind that he does not even distinguish between mother and wife. He was punished, realised sins committed, and the most merciful mother pardoned him and named as Bhringi band made him the Chief of Shiva Gana.
