The Legend of Dakshinamurthy:
Shiva and Sati were invited to Rishi Dadhichi’s ashram, where they sat among many sages. During the gathering, Rishi Atharva revealed that he had composed a profound doctrine of knowledge and sought validation from a wise authority. Shiva, recognizing its significance, blessed Atharva and began reviewing the text. The doctrine covered essential aspects of life, including material needs, health, and medicine. Impressed by its depth, Shiva declared it the fourth Veda, naming it the Atharva Veda, as a complement to the existing three: Rig, Yajur, and Sama.

While many revered the Atharva Veda, Brahma’s mind-born sons—the Sanat Kumars (Sanak, Sanatan, Sanandan, and Sanat Kumar)—disagreed. They questioned Shiva’s authority in introducing a new Veda, believing only Brahma could create them. Seeking resolution, they approached Prajapati Daksha, who advised them to challenge Shiva in a scriptural debate. The Sanat Kumars then visited Dadhichi’s ashram and proposed the debate, which Shiva accepted.

Dadhichi arranged the seating with Shiva facing north and the Sanat Kumars facing south. Feeling slighted, the Sanat Kumars demanded the northern position due to their vast knowledge. Shiva humbly agreed and took the southern seat. Devi Saraswati, the mother of the Vedas, was appointed as the judge. The debate commenced, with the Sanat Kumars presenting Vedic arguments, which Shiva countered with logic and references from the original three Vedas. Eventually, the Sanat Kumars conceded, and Saraswati declared Shiva the winner.

Still puzzled by the existence of a fourth Veda, the Sanat Kumars asked Shiva how it came to be. Shiva narrated an ancient event involving Vishnu’s Matsya avatar. When Vishnu battled the demon Hayagreeva to retrieve the stolen Vedas, Hayagreeva, after releasing three Vedas, sought refuge in Shiva. While Shiva could not save him, he blessed Hayagreeva to retain the knowledge of the fourth Veda in his next birth. Hayagreeva was later reborn as Rishi Atharva, who revealed the Atharva Veda.

Realizing Shiva’s supreme wisdom, the Sanat Kumars repented and honored him as Dakshinamurti, the lord facing south. This event marked the acknowledgment of Shiva’s unparalleled knowledge and his role in revealing the fourth Veda.
