Brihaspati, also known as Guru, was the son of Angira. He embodied all the virtues of a noble person—he was a leader, a good Samaritan, and showed deep respect for elders and teachers.

Brihaspati traveled to Kashi, where he installed a Shiv Ling and devoted himself to worshiping Lord Shiva for several years. Through his unwavering devotion, Lord Shiva appeared before him in the form of Jyoti (Divine Light) emerging from the Ling. Overcome with joy and awe, Brihaspati began singing praises of Lord Shiva. In response, Lord Shiva blessed Brihaspati, proclaiming him to be the Lord of all Devas. As a reward for his devotion and prayers, Shiva also granted Brihaspati the title of Vachaspati, meaning "one who excels in speech." Furthermore, the Shiv Ling installed by Brihaspati came to be known as Brihaspateeshwar, in honor of his devotion.
