    ADHĪRA . A King; also a great devotee of Lord Śiva.

    Once he decreed death penalty on an innocent woman.

    He also destroyed with his own hands a temple of Śiva.

    As a consequence of those two sinful deeds he became

    a devil after death. Ultimately by the grace of Śiva

    he cast off the devil's form and became an attendant of

    Śiva. (Padma Purāṇa, Pātāla Khaṇḍa, Chapter 111).
