Vishnu accepted defeat on not being able to find the end whereas Brahma chose to lie. Shiva emerged from the pillar and cursed Brahma that he won't be worshipped till the end of eternity and blessed Vishnu for his piousness. This pillar of radiance is called 'Jyotirling'.It also represents the eternal connection of Vishnu & Mahesh, that every Jyotirlinga is situated near Vishnu temples...We'll see the beauty of Vishnu in my next story...
