Parvati wanted to know how his husband Shiva perform His routine works. She enquired about this to Shiva. He wanted to play a trick with Her. So, He asked Her to close His eyes with Her palms. She also playfully did so. Within a fraction of microsecond, the entire world came to a halt with no activities. She realised Her mistake and asked Him to recover the entire things. Shiva replied Her that as She closed His eyes with Her palms and so the world became dark, He would disappear from the Hasthavarna Jothi (light from the palms) and that She might find the 'jothi', by transforming as a cow and join Him again. She came to Earth as a cow with Her brother Vishnu and searched for the light. One day the 'jothi' appeared and She joined the jothi. The world became bright as usual. As Shiva blessed ('Krupa' in sanskrit) Her with His palms ('Kupar' in sanskrit), He was named after that as 'Krupakupareshwarar' in this place Komal. [5]
