For lighting up the world when Parvati closed Lord Sivas' eyes, And Darkness Descended Upon The Universe. There is one more story of Siva opening his third eye. It is believed that one day Parvati closed Shiva’s eyes and the universe went dark. Siva had to open his third eye to provide light and energy to the world. Heat from his third caused Parvati’s hand to perspire and a drop fell on the ground from her hand, which transformed into a child. It was a boy and they named him Andhaka.
