THE KING
Once Shiva had been the formless, nameless, unseen one, but Brahma saw to it that all that changed.
And when it happened, this birth was indeed the miracle of a cosmic timeline.
Brahma prayed to Shiva on one leg for a thousand years, and when Shiva was pleased, Brahma asked for Him to be born as His son.And so Shiva fulfilled His Divine promise by being born in the next Yuga as Brahma's mind born son.
Now, holding a rueful baby in His paternal clasp, listening to His cries and wails, trying His best to calm Him down, Brahma let out a proud laughter, saying aloud “Rudra.”
“You are Rudra, the wailer, my tiny son. Welcome to the world of manifest beings.”
“Suswagatam prithviloka mam putra! Welcome to earth, my son!” “You are Rudra, my son.”
Brahma noted how much interest the infant Rudra had in all the nearby animals, He was looking at
the pet tigers in a royal buggy nearby. Then He glanced at the elephants, and
finally looked skywards to a flock of Brahma’s own swans flying in formation.
Looking at His newborn son observe all life forms, Brahma was quick to understand a very deep reminder, and said aloud, for all to hear, “You shall be Pasupati, Lord of all animals.”
Years later, when Rudra left Brahma's palace to live and meditate in the forest, he made friends with all the animals.

Years later, when Rudra left Brahma's palace to live and meditate in the forest, he made friends with all the animals.
He joked with them about the lighter side of
everyone’s looks including, many a time, His own. His sense of humour
unburdened them and they felt worthy. They knew they were not just beasts; they
were part of a divine plan. An important part. And He was here in their midst,
as Pasupati. Just His presence seemed to exorcise them of an age-old sense of
being unwanted. They began to think of Him as God.
But it was not till the time that Sati entered the life of Rudra, that He began to be called Nath . Satiwas the most important one, who, through Her unmatched love, had
made Him realise more than what all other creatures put together had acknowledged.
He was not just Pasupati; He was Pasupati Nath. Not just the Lord of animals,
but also the undisputed master of their very soul. It was She who had brought
Him to the more intimate relationships, She who drew out the tenderness.
