"He had known Vishnu, the other God, through at least two of His incarnations. He had known Him as Rama, from His forest meanderings and resonated so completely with Him in the love for one’s spouse.
Shiva empathised greatly with Rama in the pain of separation, Having been through the loss of His own wife, Sati. A life cycle later, when Vishnu incarnated again as Krishna,
Shiva went all the way from Kailash to the Plains to see Krishna as a baby", said Rishi Suta.
"Ah! I see" said Shaunaka.
“Krishna loved to play, and Shiva loved to watch Him play. He loved the infant Krishna’s delightful ability to steal butter cookies from His mother’s larder, much before He was a full-blown God. He smiled at Krishna’s charming adolescence as He dallied with the infatuated cowgirls of Vrindavan".Continued Suta.
" Lovely, master!" excaimed Shaunaka.
" Then again, years later, when the time came for Krishna to sermonise Arjuna about divinity on the battlegrounds of Kurukshetra, Shiva had watched from an eternally witnessing sky above, listening intently along with others to Krishna’s song of God, the Bhagwad Gita.
When Krishna sang eloquently to Arjuna about Mahakaal, The Great Timelessness, Shiva smiled again. He had known this song even before Krishna was born. He, verily, had known it even before Rama’s time," said Rishi Suta.
