Four heads of Lord Brahma

At the time of creation of universe Lord Brahma made a female known as Shatrupa. He was so attracted with his creation that he could not remove his sight from her. Shatrupa moves in different direction to avoid his gaze. But wherever she went, Lord Brahama developed a head. This results in formation of 4 heads. At last Shatrupa tries to move into heaven to avoid his gaze. The 5th head formed on Brahama’s face looking at sky. But Lord Shiva felt that it was wrong as Shatrupa was like lord Brahma’s daughter. So, Lord Shiva cut off the 5th head. From then onwards Lord Brahma left with four heads reciting the four Vedas for his regret
