tAtparyam:
In the beginning bhagavAn taught the four vEdAs to the
four-headed Bramha. Subsequently Bramha instructed
this to unqualified ones such as Madhu and KaiTabha.
Thus Bramha became a sinner being involved in the
'abduction' the vEdAs. Rudra plucked Bramha's head
which got stuck to Rudra's hands and hence became a
sinner too. At that time who else protected Bramha and
Rudra as well as the three worlds being tormented
by hiranyAkSha, hiranyakashipu and rAvana but the
Supreme Being SrimannArAyana ? As soon as water was
poured to receive the three worlds from Bali , He grew
as Trivikrama so that all the beings in the worlds can
have His grace when he measured the entire bhoolOka
with one of His feet and the Bramha lOka and beyond
with His another, Bramha washed those divine feet
using the water from his water vessel 'kamanDala' .
This water when it flowed to this bhoolOka in the form
of Ganga , Rudra adorned it on his head and thus
received the auspicious name "shiva" .
Note: The fact that Rudra sanctified himself by the
adornment of the holy water that flowed from washing
of the divine feet of srimannArAyana is quoted not
only by vaishnava sampradAya but also has been
described in Srimad BhAgavatham. Even in AdhyAtma
rAmAyana, it is said that when VasiShta visited Sri
rAma in his palace, Sri rAma washed the feet of His
guru and sprinkled that water on His head. Then his
guru remarks " Oh rAmA! You sprinkled water from
washing my feet on Your head! But rudra attained
sanctification by the adornment of the water flowed
from washing Your divine feet on his head! " as quoted
in the slOka below:
