Shiva

Pleased with the union, Shiva catches Agni's semen in her hand and fears that people will see it and speak of the brahmanas' wives' misdeeds. She becomes a Garudi (Suparni), flies to Mount Shveta guarded by serpents, and hurls the semen into a golden well. She then assumes the forms of the other wives of the saptarshis and unites with Agni six times — but cannot assume Arundhati's form due to her faithfulness.

Tormented by desire, Shiva — the wife of the sage Angiras — approaches Agni and threatens to kill herself if he does not satisfy her. She reveals that the wives of the saptarshis have learned of Agni's longing through signs and have sent her to him. Agni, overjoyed, accepts her.
