He and his wife desperately wanted any child who can continue their progenies. But there was no child in his destiny. He was also a great devotee of Lord Shiva and routinely used to visit Shiv temple on every Monday. One day Goddess Parvati (wife of Lord Shiva) requested Lord Shiva about hearing prayers of that devotee. Observing deep devotion of that devotee, Lord Mahadev blessed and offered him a baby-boy. But that offering was with one condition that the child would survive till 12 years only.

After the birth of that child, everyone was pleased except that moneylender because he knew that his boy had only 12 years of life. After 11 years, the moneylender thought to send his child to the home of the maternal uncle in Kashi for completion of education. Moneylender was aware of the death of his child. But he never broke his devotion towards Lord Shiva. He, in fact, advised his child and child’s maternal uncle to offer yangya, pooja to Lord Shiva. Maternal uncle and that boy started their journey towards home. And in all shrines possible and offered Yagya, pooja and donated to Brahmin.

When maternal uncle saw him dead, he was in pain but thought of completing the sacred ceremony first. Fortunately, Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva were passing through their home and saw all relatives crying. As the boy, his parents, and maternal uncle had immensely shown great devotion towards Lord Shiva and did enormous pious work, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati offered life to that boy, once again. And this way that boy returned home with his bride. Finding him alive his parents were glad and thanked Mahadev. Om Namah Shivaya!
