Sapta Matrika. Collection at Museum , Aihole, Karnataka.

After killing all the demons, lord Shiva lifted Andhak with his trident and hanged him between the earth and sky. Andhak remained there for a very long period of time, bearing the heat of the sun and the showers of rain. But he remained alive.

After 'a thousand years' in the suspended position, Andhakasura realised his mistake and prayed for forgiveness. Siva blessed him to lead a reformed life among the Pramathas and Ganas who accompany Siva. Andhakasura was rechristened 'Bhringee' and has been depicted as a human with a skeletal form.

REEMERGENCE OF SHUKRACHARYA
When lord Shiva swallowed up Shukracharya, he became very restless and started to find out a way through which he could come out from Shiva's stomach. But all of his efforts went in vain. Finding no other option, he started to chant the name of lord Shiva. His chantings continued for one hundred years. By the blessings of Shiva, he came out from Shiva's stomach through the ejaculated semen.
After coming out, Shukraharya eulogized Lord Shiva. Shiva became pleased with him and showered him with affection just like his own son. After being blessed Shukracharya went and rejoined the army of the demons.
