At this time Śiva appeared in person to those sitting in the temple of Siddhiśvara and said that a son would be born to Candraketu from a part of his and that valorous youth would kill Vidyuddhvaja. Muktāvalī wife of Candraketu became pregnant at that time and soon delivered a son. He was named Muktāphalaketu. Even from boyhood he became an ardent devotee of Śiva and started performing penance to propitiate Śiva. Śiva appeared before him and gave him the secrets of many techniques in archery.
