Tirupati story Ī similar story is found in the story of Tirupati. He then declared Vishnu the greatest among the Trimurti, the triumvirate of gods. He begged forgiveness of Vishnu, who readily forgave him. In the process, Vishnu destroyed the third eye of Bhrigu that was on his feet, symbolizing his ignorance and ego, and, as soon as it was destroyed, he grew aware of his egotistical outbursts with extreme pain. Vishnu woke up, greeted Bhrigu, and starting massaging his feet, asking him if he had hurt his feet in kicking his chest. Bhrigu kicked Vishnu on the chest to wake him up, as he was enraged by the fact that Vishnu was constantly asleep on the Shesha. Now, the only remaining deva was Vishnu, and, to make things even worse, Vishnu wasn't able to see Bhrigu, because he was asleep on his Sheshanaga. Shiva was infuriated, but was calmed by his consort, Parvati. Lord Shiva meanwhile was also talking with Parvati. Brahma also got angry and, in fear, Bhrigu left for Kailash (home of Shiva). Bhrigu got angry and started to insult his father. He first visited Brahma, who was reciting the Vedas and spending time with his wife, Saraswati, and, therefore, ignored the arrival of Bhrigu. Upon being entrusted with the task, Maharishi Bhrigu decided to test each of the Trimurti. With the consent of all the great saints presents there, it was decided that Bhrigu would test and decide who was pre-eminent. All the great saints and sages could not decide that out of the trinity of gods, Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva who was pre-eminent and to whom they should offer the Pradhanta (Master) of that Yagya. Many great sages gathered at the bank of the river Sarasvati to participate in Maha Yagya. In the Bhagavad Gītā, Krishna says that among sages, Bhrigu is representative of the opulence of God. In Tattiriya Upanishad, he had conversation with his father Varuni on Brahman. He supports the continuation of the Daksha yajna even after being warned that without an offering for Shiva, it was asking for a catastrophe for everyone present there.
