Gods and Rakshasas together with the help of Mandara Parvata and Vasuki set out to burn the milky ocean for nectar. During the churning of the sea of milk, the deadly Kalakuta poison was released...
Suras and Asuras pray to Lord Shiva, Bola Shankara, to protect them from the poisonous effect of KalaKuta, which is ready to burn the 14 worlds. Maheshwara, the ruler of Chaturdasa Bhuvana, gives them shelter and swallows the Kalakuta poison with Chetabuni Amantanga. Goddess Parvati grabbed Lord Shiva's throat so that the poison did not enter Lord Shiva's womb, and the poison stopped at Lord Shiva's throat and turned him blue from here he got the name Neelakantaya.. This terrible poison of Kalakuta intoxicates even the mighty Lord Shiva for a while and Lord slept on Parvati lap...
