nandi ke bina shiv tattv ka uddeshy samajhana kathin hai. bhagavan shiv ke bhakt aur vahan nandi ka shabdik arth hai- "harsh, prasannata" adi. 'shivapuran' ke anusar rrishi sanatkumar ne bhagavan shiv ke anuchar nandi se poochha ki ap bhagavan shiv ke aansh se kaise utpann hue aur apane shivatv ko kaise prapt kiya, isake vishay mean mujhe kripa karake kuchh bataean. isake pashchath bhagavan nandi ne apane sandarbh mean batate hue kaha ki jab rrishi shilad ko pitaroan ke uddhar ki ichchha se santan prapti ki ichchha huee, tab shilad ne devaraj iandr ki prasannata ke lie tap kiya.
iandr ne prasann hokar shilad se kaha, ‘maian apaki tapasya se prasann hooan, ap var maango.’ shilad ne kaha, ‘he devaraj iandr, yadi ap mujh par prasann haian to ap mujhe ek ayonij amar putr dijie.’ iandr ne kaha, ‘he munishreshth maian tumhean ayonij mrityarahit putr nahian de sakata. maian, devaraj iandr aur brahma-vishnu koee bhi apaki is kamana ko poorn nahian kar sakate.’ at: is prakar ke putr ki ichchha se mahadev bhagavan shiv ki aradhana karo, ve hi tumhean aisa putr deange. inake anantar rrishi shilad bhagavan mahadev ki tapasya mean sanlagn ho ge. rrishi ki kathor tapasya se prasann hokar bhagavan mahadev ne unhean var dete hue kaha, ‘he tapasvi brahman! maian tumhare ghar nandi namak ayonij putr ke roop mean prakat hoooanga aur tum tinoan lokoan ke pita ho jaoge.’
