Once, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu had an argument as to who was the supreme creator. To settle this argument, Lord Shiva appeared as a huge pillar of light and asked them to find the end of the pillar. Neither could find the end.
The above legend of a pillar of light finds expression in the jyotirlinga temples where Lord Shiva manifested as a linga of light.
