La mitología hindú cuenta que cuando la bella Parvati se vio incapaz de conseguir el amor de Shiva, apartó sus joyas, se vistió de ermitaño y se retiró a una montaña a meditar en Shiva y a practicar austeridades. Tras haber adoptado la vida de un renunciante durante algún tiempo, Shiva finalmente la aceptó como esposa. | La mitología hindú cuenta que cuando la bella Parvati se vio incapaz de conseguir el amor de Shiva, apartó sus joyas, se vistió de ermitaño y se retiró a una montaña a meditar en Shiva y a practicar austeridades.

<blockquote>Legend describes [Parvati] playfully covering her Lord’s eyes as he sat in meditation on a peak of Himalaya. Instantly all light and life were extinguished in the universe until, out of compassion for all beings, the god opened his third eye, which blazed like a new sun. So intense was its blazing that it scorched the mountains and forests of [the Himalayas] to oblivion. Only when he saw that the daughter of the mountain was properly contrite did he relent and restore her father [who is the mountain] to his former estate.<ref>John Snelling, ''The Sacred Mountain'', rev. and enl. ed.
