According to religious beliefs, it is said that worshiping and circling the Peepal tree does not have to suffer the suffering of Saturn. Also, according to a legend, the Peepal tree was descended to Lord Shani. Today, we tell you how Shani Dev, despite this, was kind to the Peepal tree. Along with this, if the legend is believed, Peepal got the blessing of Lord Shani.
Monsters were becoming hinders in the sacrifice of sage
According to the stories, Agastya Rishi went with his disciples to the bank of the river Gomti in the south direction and continued the yajna for one year after taking initiation of Satrayag. At that time, heaven was ruled by demons.
Demons revenge
A demon named Kaitabh, taking the form of Peepal started harassing the Brahmins in the yagna and killed the Brahmins. As soon as a Brahmin goes to break the twigs or leaves of the Peepal tree, the demons would eat them.
Seek help from Shani Dev
Seeing their numbers decreasing throughout the day, sage Muni went to Shani Dev for help. After this Shani Dev took the form of Brahmin and went to the Peepal tree. At the same time, the monster became a tree and devoured Saturn Dev as an ordinary Brahmin. After this, Lord Shani tore her stomach and came out and ended it.
Happy boon
Pleased with the demon's end, the sage Munis thanked Shani Dev a lot. Shani Dev too was pleased and said that on Saturday, whoever touches the Peepal tree, all its tasks will be completed. At the same time, anyone who will bathe, meditate, worship and worship near this tree will never have to bear my pain.
