Before I start... I was literally laughing when I saw the precap.. So here is the story ..
There once was a rishi in hills of vindhya . All he had was 2 kowpeenams ( langota or langoti ) . He used to wash one and dry and wear the other. He used to very content and spend all his time in meditation. Some how from some where a mouse came and started to eat his kowpeenam. The poor man didn't know what to do. He is a rishi, he couldn't kill the mouse, so he thought if he got a cat , the cat would kill the mouse. He took lot of pain to domesticate the cat. While he was domesticating, he needed milk for the cat. Now, where will he get the milk from? So he got a cow. Poor man didn't know how to tend the cow, so he got a servant. Now who is going to serve the food for the servant. So he got married. Now he has 2 kowpeenams, 1 mouse , a cat, a servant and a wife. In due time, He had kids. Now all of them couldn't fit under one banyan tree , so he had to build a house. He needed money for it. He had to go to the king to for money. King wasn't going to give him money just like that, so he had to do his gyana pradarshana. He got rewarded , now he has money to build a house. Then he realized, he needed to save to money for the rainy day. He went in the middle of the night to dig a hole in the ground to save money. Before he realized he was 70 years old on his death bed, recapturing where things went wrong. He had lost all his senses by then.. all he said was "KOWPEENAM"... he realized all he needed to do was is get another kowpeenam if this one got ruined by the mouse. He repented that he he swayed from his path and never could reach his ultimate goal. Till this day in andhrapradesh, the earthly desires are referred to as kowpeenam..
Why am I telling this Story? Well, Shiva is in a similar position. He gave a boon to Tarakasur. He had to have a son to kill Tarakasur, so he married. She died with out having the son. So he had to wait for her to be reborn so he could marry her again. Finally he had son who can kill the demon. But wait his wife wanted an another, so now he had a daughter. The daughter wanted to marry a boy so he had to make sure she walks the right path. The story doesn't end.. His wife is unhappy so she had another son. Today, the wife wanted a house so that her kids can be safe.
A vairagi who wears a kowpeenam , did his meditation for the welfare of the universe found himself in neck deep samsara . He came a long way. What do you think ? Did Mahadev wander away from his path ?
PS: Sporadic thought.. nothing special about this... I found today's episode rather amusing 😲
