But the Naga Sadhu was so engrossed in the penance of Lord Shiva that he did not even know about Lord Shiva’s marriage. When Lord Shankar was taking Mount Kailash after marrying Mother Parvati. Then when the Nagas came to know about this, they stood on the road and started expressing their sorrow for not going to the wedding.
Mahadev’s promise to Naga Sadhus
When Mahadev asked the Naga Sadhus the reason for their sadness, they told God that they were not able to attend the Shiva procession due to penance. Hearing this from the Naga Sadhus, Mahadev was pleased with their penance and promised that very soon all the Naga Sadhus will get a chance to participate in the royal procession. And Lord Shankar himself will also participate in this procession.
