What the texts say

In the Shiva Purana, Shiva is the agent of dissolution, one of three ways the one Supreme Lord appears. Shiva Purana 2.2.2.15 The same Purana calls him the supreme yogi, absorbed in yoga. Shiva Purana 2.2.10.39 There, Shankara, one of Shiva's names, took his abode on Kailasa with his divine consort. Shiva Purana 2.2.10.59 The Purana says fire from Shiva's third eye reduced Kama, the god of desire, to ashes. Shiva Purana 2.3.20.2 In the Bhagavata Purana, the gods sought shelter with Shiva from a spreading poison, and he drank it, leaving a bluish line on his neck. Bhagavatam 8.7.19, 8.7.42, 8.7.43 In the Ramayana, the earth cannot bear the river Ganga's descent, so she falls on the head of Shiva, the trident-bearer, seen as the only one able to hold her. Ramayana 1.43.7, 1.42.24 The Linga Purana calls the Linga Shiva's emblem, a sacred sign for contemplation and worship. Linga Purana 1.3.1
