Due to this, God Chettrapaal Bhairav felt that he was insulted. God Chettrapaal Bhairav became angry and started to eat the people alive. he was going on eating people with anger in his head and he reached to the place Purnachandi(siddhi laxmi). Devi purnachandi tried to calm him down.She triend her best but he didn't even listen a word. So, being tired of this Devi Purnachandi used mayajaal. it is believe that Devi Purnachandi Showed her Vagina to God Cheddrapal bhairav. God Chettrapal was ashamed of it and he calm down. So, It is belived that she have knowledge of everything and known as sidhhi laxmi (siddhi means knowledge). almost all god have asan in animal but only one god i.e is siddhi laxmi have a asan in rudra(shiva). it is believe that she have nine heads.
