The bull in the course of its gambols broke up and destroyed the earthen covering on his body which was made by the termites. Bhrgu became angry and chased the bull. But he was stunned by the sight of the bull rising up to heaven through the air. A divine light spread there. Śiva appeared before him and asked him what boon he wanted. Bhrgu prayed that the place where he was doing tapas should become a holy spot. Śiva granted his prayer and from that day, the place became famous under the name "Bhrgu Tīrtha". - [Previous: c4.2343](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2343) - [Next: c4.2345](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2345) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2344](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2344) · Pramāṇa
