Brahma aur Vishnu ke beech shreshthata ke vivaad ko Shiv ne anant agni-stambh ke roop mein prakat hokar shaant kiya (Shiv Puran / Linga Puran).
Vivaad
Ek baar Brahma aur Vishnu mein vivaad hua ki dono mein bada kaun hai. Tabhi unke beech ek anant, tejasvi agni-stambh prakat hua jiska na aadi dikhta tha na ant.
Aadi-ant ki khoj
Vishnu varaah ban kar neeche ant khojne gaye aur Brahma hans ban kar upar. Bahut samay baad Vishnu ne vinamrata se maana ki ant nahi mila. Brahma ne Ketaki ke phool ko gawaah bana kar jhooth kaha ki unhone shikhar dekh liya.
Satya ki vijay
Stambh se Bhagwan Shiv prakat hue. Unhone Vishnu ki satyata ki prashansa ki, aur jhooth ke kaaran Brahma ki puja seemit ho gayi tatha Ketaki phool Shiv puja mein varjit hua. Yahi stambh Jyotirlinga ka prateek hai, aur isi ki smriti mein Shivratri ki raat puja hoti hai.
Kab padhein / sunein

Srot / adhikaar: Bhajan Dhun (Puranon / lok-parampara par aadharit punarkathan)
Kathaayein kshetra aur parampara ke anusaar thodi alag ho sakti hain. Vrat ke niyam apne parivaar ki parampara ya purohit ji se bhi poochh lein.
