The Shiva Mahimna Stotram, highly cherished by Lord Shiva, narrates the story of King Chitraratha's divine garden, which captivated a Gandharva named Pushpadanta who stole its extraordinary flowers. Upon losing his magical powers due to a trap set by the king, Pushpadanta composed and sang the Shiva Mahimna Stotram, deeply impressing Lord Shiva who restored his powers.
