Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 549 Tales Of Shiva : Gujarati

Shiva, the third deity in the Hindu triad, might be expected to be the most fearsome, as he presides over destruction, while Brahma and Vishnu are linked with creation and preservation, respectively. Yet, Shiva is as beloved by mortals as Vishnu. He instills fear in the hearts of the wicked but evokes love and affection in the hearts of the pious. From his icy abode on Mount Kailasa, Lord Shiva traverses far and wide, heeding the prayers of his devotees. Often in disguise, he ensures that his blessings are bestowed only upon the deserving. Thus, he engages in battles with dauntless figures like the Pandava Arjuna, mingles with humble fisherfolk casting his net into the sea, and emerges from the sands to defy even the mighty Yama, the God of Death.
