Shiva, like some other Hindu deities, is berkata to have several incarnations, known as Avatars. Although Puranic scriptures contain occasional references to "ansh" avatars of Shiva, the idea is not universally accepted in Saivism.[171] The Linga Purana speaks of twenty-eight forms of Shiva which are sometimes seen as avatars.[172] In the Shiva Purana there is a distinctly Saivite version of a traditional Avatar myth:

Virabhadra who was born when Shiva grabbed a lock of his matted hair and dashed it to the ground. Virabhadra then destroyed Daksha's yajna (fire sacrifice) and severed his head as...

The story of Murugan's courtship and his union with the daughter of the hunters, Valli, is the most important of all Tamil myths of the saat marriage of a god. In the Sanskrit tradition, Skanda is either an eternal brahmacārin (bachelor) atau the husband of a rather colourless deity, Devasena, the Army of the Gods.

DEVADATTA: Siddhartha, anda know how to talk. anda know perfectly well...
