How many pupil's did Lord shiva had? I only know Parshurama are there more?

Didn't Lord Shiva teach anyone else apart from Parshurama?

Devi Parvati was his first and foremost shishya. He taught her - amongst many other things- the the principles of Hatha yoga - on the banks of Ganga on the holy night of Shivaratri.

The four sanat kumaras were his shishyas. Lord Shiva took the Dakshinamoorthy form to impart to them the highest wisdom.

Lord Shiva- in his Nataraja form- taught the basics of dance to Barata Muni - hence the name Bhratanatyam.

Sage Agastya and the great Panini learnt the grammar of Tamil and Sanskrit respectively from Lord Shiva.

Didn't he teach Kartikeya warfare as well, or was that someone else?

Also, Parashurama was not his disciple, was he? He just meditated for divine weapons & got them, like Arjun or Madhu (father of Lavanasura) did. People who received weapons like that didn't become his disciples.

Different note - I've been missing the threads, so what exactly is this Arunasura story?
