Meanwhile, a hungry lion reached there with the desire to eat Maa Parvati, but he sat there quietly.
Due to the influence of the mother, that tiger also sat there quietly for years with the mother doing penance. The mother had insisted that she would do penance here until she becomes Gauri. Then Shivji appeared there and went away after giving the boon to the goddess to be Gaura.
