During the ''Treta Yuga'' (second age) Lord Shiva took a vow of not manifesting anger or wrath for one thousand celestial years. During this time the ''asuras'' (the demons) indulged in the creating obstruction, playing mischiefs and destroying the sacrament and the meditation of the ''rishis'' (sages). Daksha Prajapati was capable of combating these demons but he ignored his duties of opposing those demons and further organized a ''yajna'' (ritual of sacrifice) in which he did not offer any share to Lord Shiva in spite of being told to do so by the other lords. He even did not chant the hymns (''richa'') described in the ''veda'' of lord Shiva which provide fulfilment to the desired objective of ''yajna'' and even did not offer ''ahuti'' (pouring of ghee in the sacrificial fire) to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva perceived whole of this situation regarding Daksha Prajapati’s non observance of rules and became angry. He then brought forward his ''Raudra'' (wrathful) ''bhava'' (nature) and opened his third eye, destroying all those demons by burning them and further gave rise to a child like form named ''Virabhadra'' to his wrath, who was stuffed with his anger and was capable of destroying the ''yajna'' of Daksha. That child demolished the ''yajna'' of Daksha Prajapati as a result of which the gods got afflicted with burning sensation and pain and started running in different directions and became afflicted. Then the gods along with the seven rishis offered those substantial hymns to Lord Shiva till he became pleased and switched over to his Shiva (the compassionate or benevolent and auspicious) form. When it was known that Lord Shiva is returned to his auspicious disposition, then  Virabhadra who was produced from the wrathful fire of Lord Shiva, who had three heads and nine eyes, used ash as his weapon, had the flame of his fire as his garland, was wrathful, had frightful and small thighs and stomach approached lord Shiva with folded hands and enquired about his future work. Lord Shiva replied to him that “you will become ''jwara'' in this world and afflict people in the beginning of life – at birth and at the time of death and will also afflict those who will resort to erratic regimen.”[14-25]

Santapa (feeling of heat or raised temperature), aruchi (anorexia), trishna (morbid thirst), angamarda (body ache), hrid vyatha (pain in the cardiac region) – these are the invariable manifestations of jwara. At the time of birth and death, jwara is manifested in the form of tamas (moha- altered state of consciousness). In this way the prakriti (nature), pravritti (origin) and the prabhava (invariable manifestations) of jwara are described. (26-27)
