Hence Lord Shiva desired that Ādiśesa take birth as human being, witness the celestial dance of Natarāja and then write a detailed and authentic commentary on Sanskrit grammar. > However Lord Shiva was not satisfied neither by the quality of these works nor by the pace of propagation of Sanskrit grammar, which resulted in very unsatisfactory communication among people and poor understanding of the śāstras. Later Pānini’s pupil Vyaghrabhūta and Kātyāyana’s pupil Svabhūti taught to several others. Further, sage Kātyāyana, wrote detailed commentary on Pānini’s sūtras. and from the sound created by damaru was born the Māheśvara Sūtra, the basis of Sanskrit grammar! Based on Māheśvara Sūtra, Pānini wrote a Sūtra that became the basic text for Sanskrit grammar. Lord Shiva noticed his devote, tells Ādiśesa he will grant a boon. Ādiśesa expresses his desire to witness Shiva’s ananda tāndava & Lord Shiva grants his boon and tells he would be born in human form, ananda tāndava would occur in tillai woods in Chidambaram southern India, and there he would witness the ‘ ananda tāndava’ together with bother sage ‘V yaghrapada’. Now Ādiśesa goes to mount Kailash, home of Lord Shiva and begins his austerities. Hearing that, Ādiśesa himself a loyal servant of Lord Vishnu and also a great devotee of Lord Shiva, expresses spontaneously his desire to witness the divine dance of Lord Shiva and requests the Lord to give him the boon. Lord with compassionate smile, released shesha from his service so that he could experience Shiva’s ananda tāndava. It was on account of the infinite bliss he experienced that he became heavy, he says. He describes the ecstatic devine dance of Lord Shiva in the golden chamber to the accompaniment of various musical instruments played rhythmically by several devas. Lord begins to explain the wonderful spectacle he saw when he was in yoganidrā. All of sudden, Lord Vishnu’s weight rapidly increases & Ādiśesa, being the couch of the Lord, struggles to maintain his balance & breathes heavily through his thousand hoods. Ādiśesa wonders anxiously as to what might be the reason for this, just then Lord opens his eyes, waking up from his yoganidrā , and with tears of ecstasy in his eyes! His weight is back to normal and Ādiśesa is able to bear the weight of Lord as before. Lord Vishnu, with his blissful smile is resting on Ādiśesa, floating on the milky ocean.
