Abhinay

When Kali, immersed in the dance of destruction, had become unstoppable by any force known to the universe, all Gods approached Shiva, Devadidev Mahadev.

Lord Shiva then incarnated as a small child and started crying as if he was hungry. Goddess Kali could not decipher the illusions of Shiva and thought that the child was crying because of hunger. She started feeding the child her breast-milk. In the process of sucking milk, Shiva also sucked out her anger.

Another story tells about Shiva being nurtured as a child by Kali. After taking the poison from the ocean, Shiva's throat became blue and he came to be called as Nilkantha. However, due to the tremendous intensity of the poison, Shiva became unconscious and Kali took him on her lap and fed him with the milk from her breast. Shiva thus gained consciousness. This story is idiolized in a temple in India, in Bengal, called Tarapith. It is a "pith" where Sati's eyes had fallen.

The extreme anger of Kali had resulted into the manifestation of eight divine entities who became famous as 'Kshetrapaal. After her anger had subsided Goddess Kali became unconscious. Lord Shiva then performed his famous dance–Tandav for the first time to bring Kali back to consciousness. He was accompanied by all the Ghosts and spirits in his terrific dance. When Kali regained her consciousness she found Shiva dancing. She too started dancing and this is the reason why she is also called Yogini.
