पुराणम्
English
मृगव्याध / MṚGAVYĀDHA. The disguise śiva took when he went to test the devotion of paraśurāma. paraśurāma once went to the forests and did penance to please śiva to learn archery from him. śiva in the form of a mṛgavyādha (forest hunter) appeared before paraśurāma and tested his sincerity in his penance in several ways. śiva was pleased to find Paraśurāma's devotion to śiva unwavering and blessed him. He gave instructions in archery and also permitted him to go round the earth. (Chapter 65, brahmāṇḍa purāṇa).
मृगव्याध २ / MṚGAVYĀDHA II. One of the ekādaśarudras (eleven Rudras). (Śloka 2, Chapter 66, Ādi Parva).
Vedic Reference
English
Mṛga-vyādha, ‘the hunter, ’ is the name of Sirius in the
legend of Prajāpati's daughter in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa.^1
Prajāpati (Orion) pursues his daughter (Rohiṇī), and is shot
by the archer Sirius. The transference of the legend of
Prajāpati to the sky is no doubt secondary, caused by the
obvious similarity of the constellation in question to the idea
of an archer.
