He was surprised to see that the vegetable juice came out of his hand instead of blood. He began to dance seeing this. Seeing him dancing all mobile and immobile creature also started dancing with him. Seeing this all Devtaa and Rishi went to Mahaadev and said to him - "Do something so that he does not dance like this as dancing, like this doesn't look nice for him." So Mahaadev went to the Rishi and asked him - "Why are you dancing?" Manakanakaa said - "I am the Rishi who has earned lots of Punya. Can you see that vegetable juice is flowing from my hand? That is why I am happy and dancing." Hearing this Mahaadev Jee said - "I do not wonder at this at all." and he pressed his thumb with his own finger and Lo, there came out white ash from the wound made there. Seeing this Muni got ashamed and fell on Mahaadev's feet. Considering that nothing is greater than Rudra he started praying him - "You are the greatest, you have created everything, and only you destroy everything at the end of the world. Even gods cannot know you, how can I know you? O god of gods, grant me your grace." Shiv got pleased with his prayer and said - "Let your asceticism increase thousand times by my grace. I will stay with you here in your Aashram, Who will take bath here in Sapt Saaraswat, they will attain everything here and thereafter." and Mahaadev Jee disappeared from there.
