Before the age of 16, the planet Saturn can never give trouble to anyone, Which god took this boon from Shani Dev for the people?
In order to kill Vrittasur, Indra killed Vrittasur by making his Vajra from the bones of Maharishi Dadhichi, because Dadhichi's bones were full of Shiva's sharpness and powerful. When Maharishi Dadhichi's wife came back from the ashram, she came to know that her bones were used to make weapons and enemies of the gods, so she was eager to commit sati, then there was a voice in the sky that Lord Shankar was incarnated in your womb from the Brahmatej of Maharishi Dadhichi. Will happen. Therefore it is necessary to protect it.
Hearing this Suvarcha sat under a nearby tree where she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Being born under a Peepal tree, Brahma named him Pippalad and all the deities performed all his rites. Both Maharishi Dadhichi and his wife Suvarcha were ardent devotees of Lord Shiva. With his blessings, Lord Shiva was born in his place as Pippalad.
Pippalad asked the deities - What is the reason that my father Dadhichi left me before my birth? As soon as I was born, my mother also became sati and in my childhood I started suffering as an orphan.
Hearing this, the deities told that such a bad yoga has been created because of the sight of Shanigraha. Pippalad got very angry after hearing this and said that this Shani does not even leave the newborn babies. He has so much ego. Then one day when he came face to face with Shani, he raised his brahmadand from Maharishi and hit Shani with it, because of which Shani Dev could not bear the attack of brahmadand, so he started running away fearing him. Even after circumambulating all the three people, Brahma Dand did not give up chasing Shani Dev and hit his leg, which made Shani Dev lame.
The gods requested Pippalad Muni to forgive Shani Dev, then Pippalad Muni forgave Shani Dev. On the prayer of the deities, Pippalad forgave Shani on the condition that Shani would not trouble anyone from birth till the age of 16 years. Since then only by remembering Pippalad, Shani's pain goes away.
