SO MANY STORIES!
He was Shiva, the Auspicious. Shiva, whose very presence was able to transform humans into demigods.
So many times on His mountain sojourns, He had chanced upon a singing shepherd, or a wandering minstrel, singing of Shiva!
Sometimes, as a bonus, even lovelorn women sang His praises, when they actually pined for another suitor; and He was amused by the stories He heard about Himself.
There were all sorts of things talked about Him, and He generally liked most of it, just because of the possibility it offered. It gave Him a strange excitement; this fact that others were suggesting what He was; and that as a corollary, there was actually a chance to choose one’s own act from so many suggested plots. -Shail Gulhati
