Mahashivratri Katha
According to Garun Purana, on this day a Nishadraj went hunting with his dog, but he did not get any prey. Tired and troubled by hunger and thirst, he sat down on the bank of a pond where there was a Shivling under a Bilva tree. To give rest to his body, he plucked some Bilva leaves, which fell on the Shivling.
To clean his feet, he sprinkled water from the pond on them, some drops of which fell on the Shivling. While doing so, one of his arrows fell down; to pick it up, he bent in front of the Shivling.
In this way, he unknowingly completed the entire process of Shiv-worship on the day of Shivratri. After his death, when Yamdoot came to take him, Shiva's Ganas protected him and drove them away.
