Legend has it that once Lord Shiva went begging for alms, using the skull of Lord Brahma as the begging bowl. Nowhere in the three worlds did he manage to get any alms. Ultimately, he went to Vaikunth, the abode of Lord Vishnu and asked Lord Vishnu for alms. In return, Lord Vishnu showed Lord Shiva his index finger, which enraged the latter. Lord Shiva took out his trishul and cut Lord Vishnu’s fingers. Vishnu’s fingers began to bleed profusely and the blood accumulated in Brahma’s skull and soon overflowed from it. The flow became a stream and finally a river “The Shipra”.
