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:
“Love, love, love—all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
