How miserable Lord Shiva is..!

 



एका भार्या समररसिका निम्नगा च द्वितीया
पुत्रोऽप्येको द्विरदवदनो षण्मुखश्च द्वितीयः ।
नन्दी भृङ्गी च कपिवदनो वाहनं पुङ्गवेशः
स्मारं स्मारं स्वगृहचरितं भस्मदेहो महेशः ॥
चाटुचणक

ekā bhāryā samararasikā nimnagā ca dvitīyā
putro'pyeko dviradavadano ṣaṇmukhaśca dvitīyaḥ ।
nandī bhṛṅgī ca kapivadano vāhanaṃ puṅgaveśaḥ
smāraṃ smāraṃ svagṛhacaritaṃ bhasmadeho maheśaḥ ॥

How miserable Lord Shiva is..!
One of His wives is Durga, ever engaged in fighting and killing Demons. She is an inveterate fighter.
Second wife is River Ganga, and by Her very nature she flows along low places, keeping company with lowly fellows.
One son is having the funny face of an elephant-Ganesa.
The other son Skanda is having six faces where normally an attractive person should have only one.
Therefore, both the sons are intolerably ugly.
His vehicle is the old doddery Vrushhabha (Bull) by name Nandi. His chief protocol officer Bhringee who has the face of a monkey.
So what can he have in His house to feel happy or proud about?
Therefore, Lord Shankara decided to run away to a burial ground where he is residing permanently. His body smeared with ashes collected from the funeral pyres.
