Are NOT the SONS of GOD and GODDESS ETERNAL ?
(1) The Most Supreme GOD-Lord-God SCIVAA (NOT SHIVA--there is NO such word as SHIVA in Sanskrit) ) and GODDESS PARVATHI are ETERNAL
(2) Their SONS (a) Lord-God.Ganapathy and (b) and Lord -God- Karthikeya -both are Eternal
(3) NO FORCE in the UNIVERSE has ever "PUNISHED" nor "DARE TO SLAIN THEM "
(4) Then they should also be Eternal --Am I right or Wrong ?
Madam. Ole.G. --the reference you cite (ENCYCLOPEDIA) mis-leads. He quotes PAURANIC references (STORIES) --NOT SAMHITA refernces (Meta-Physical connotations ) LORD SCIVAA
सिव siva m. stitcher
शिव ziva adj. kind
शिव ziva adj. gracious
शिव ziva adj benevolent /compassionate --even Ziva is NOT Correct-SCIVA is near Correct
SCIVA is described as THE LEADER OF ALL PROFESSIONALS => Carpenters--Potters--Fishermen--Hunters--Soldiers -Priests --like that about 100 professionals --VEDHAM incidentally points out THIEVES also--that Man deliberately points out THIEVES and hides other Professionals -that too in an ENCYCLOPEDIA -I can point out many mistakes -leave it
