Traditionally believed to be the spiritual offspring of the wind-god Vayu, Shaiva tradition regards him as an incarnation of Shiva while many Vaishnava traditions ascribe him to Vayu. While his tales appear in the Ramayana, Mahabharata and various Puranas, organized devotional practices and his larger theological prominence developed roughly a millennium after the Ramayana, during the second millennium CE.
