Once a number of arrangements were made for a big yajna on the bank of the Sarasvati river. A large number of sages and seers came from far and wide to attend it. During their discussion, the question arose as to who was greater among Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva. Unable to settle this between them, the sage Bhrigu, the son of Brahma, was sent to settle the matter. First, Bhrigu went to his father Lord Brahma. As he approached him, Bhrigu did not bow or show any sign of respect to him. Lord Brahma was clearly angry with his son, but he held back and calmed down. But when Lord Brahma was about to curse, he remembered that this is my son. So they drank the rage. However, it could not hide from Bhrigu and asked Lord Brahma's permission to depart from there.
