Shivnetra Mythology
An inscription in Varanasi gives some account :
"They were tall and had shoulders like a lion but they seldom ate, engaged in long silence and meditation they seldom spoke, They lived on the Ganga and took her as their mother, respected even by the greatest of rulers, feared by the most violent of fighters they were also their greatest friend.They never saw mangal (Planet Mars), but knew it was Red, they are the sons of rudra, and lived to serve him."

Famous quotes containing the word mythology:
“I walk out into a nature such as the old prophets and poets, Menu, Moses, Homer, Chaucer, walked in. You may name it America, but it is not America; neither Americus Vespucius, nor Columbus, nor the rest were the discoverers of it. There is a truer account of it in mythology than in any history of America, so called, that I have seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
