Multiple issues orphan February 2009 context October 2009 unreferenced March 2007 Purusha Mruga was renowned as one of the biggest devotees of Lord Shiva . As the name suggests, he was half man and half animal. In the Mahabharata , the Pandavas were performing the Rajasuya Yagna. Yudhishthira suggested that Purusha Mruga s presence in the Rajasuya Yagna would be most auspicious and assigned Bhima to invite the revered guest. Bhima, on his way, is said to have met an old monkey who was Hanuman in disguise. After inquiring about the purpose of Bhima s journey, Hanuman plucked three strands of hair from his tail and handed them to him, saying it would be of help later. Taking blessings of Hanuman, Bhima continued on the journey. On meeting Purusha Mruga, Bhima introduced himself and requested the kind devotee s presence in the Rajasuya Yagna. Purusha Mruga calmly stated that he would attend the ceremony only on one condition. Bhima would have to run towards Hastinapur and he would try to catch him. In the event that Bhima was caught outside the boundary of Hastinapur, Purusha Mruga would eat him. Since Yudhishthira was very keen on Purusha Mruga s attendance, Bhima accepted the challenge.
