Cow
Formerly, in the Krita-yuga, there was a tree called Shimshapa in Kashi. A crow had made his nest in that tree, and below, in a hollow of the tree, lived a big snake. Once, the crow's wife laid two eggs and then went somewhere. She did not come back to the nest, and so the male crow took care of the eggs.One night, there was a terrible storm, knocking down the Shimshapa tree. It so happened that when this occured, both the crow and the serpent were crushed to death. The tree, crow and snake then recieved transcendental forms and ascended to Vaikuntha.
Narada Muni was telling this story to King Shibi. The king asked, "By what religious merit were they able to reach Vaikuntha? Who were the three in their last lives?In response, Narada related the story as follows: There was a brahmana named Shravana who lived in the kingdom of Kurujangala. His wife was named Kunda, and his brother was Kurantaka.Once, Shravana ate some sweets, without having bathed. Due to that sin, he was later born as a village crow. His brother, Kurantaka was a staunch atheist. He often blasphemed the Lord. For that offense, he was later born as a deadly serpent. Shravana's wife, Kunda, shared the sins of her husband and brother-in-law. As a result, she became the Shimshapa tree.Once, while the three were returning home from another village, they saw that someone's cow had fallen into a well. Being urged by that person, the three rescued the cow from the well. It is because of this pious act that the three met with death at Kashi.

Astrologer
Lord Shiva saw few more attempts going in vain; and his desire to return to his beloved city was ever increasing. At last, he approached Lord Vishnu, who is also one of the supreme trinity. Vishnu is the one who often rescues the Gods in such crisis. A strong scheme was laid out by him, again.
In accordance to the plan, Ganesha, son of Shiva arrived at Kashi in the disguise of an astrologer. Having a long term scheme, he established his residence near the city and began serving the citizens as astrologer. Fame of the astrologer spread in the kingdom. Touched by wind of the fame, the queen also sought his service, and was impressed by the astrologer. Once the queen was impressed, astrologer did not need very long time to reach the royal court of the king.
In the royal court, he pretended to study the palm of king attentively. At the end, he declared that a holy and wise sadhu would come to see the king on the eighteenth day. Council of the wise man would bring wealth of enlightenment. Divodasa did not pay much attention to this prophecy; but on the eighteenth day, a Buddhist monk with a divine light about him, indeed came to his door. The monk was, in fact, Lord Vishnu in disguise. Divodasa had to be tricked by the of one of the supreme lords of the universe, if lord wished so, for he was only a man. The monk rained words of wisdom upon him.
Divodasa saw dissatisfaction and unhappiness among his subjects. He was distressed. He asked for the path to deliverance. Vishnu told him to give up his kinghood and devote himself to the search of peace. The deceived king obeyed the holy man. He made his son the new king and devoted himself to God Shiva to ease his sins.
Delighted lord Shiva returned to his beloved Kashi and swore to never leave the city.

Dashashwamedh
Shiva called upon Lord Brahma. He persuaded him to undo what he had done; for aim of Divodasa’s reign was fulfilled and world was in order.
Lord Brahma admitted that even he could not have removed Divodasa from the throne. But he assured Shiva to do something. He took the guise of a Sadhu– a holy man and entered Kashi. Soon he had the king under his influence. And then he recommended Divodasa to arrange an Ashwamedh Yagya with ten horses. An Ashwamedh Yagya is a ritual practised by mighty kings, in which a horse is made to roam freely through all lands. Army of the yagya practising king follows the horse. The land through which the horse walks through, comes into the supremacy of the yagya performing king. If someone refuses to accept the supremacy of the king, then they have to battle against the army following the horse.
Brahma suggested the mighty king to practice the yagya with ten horses, in order to make it more difficult. In this way Divodasa’s army was divided into ten parts to follow each horse. Ten armies of the king followed the ten horses in ten directions. But yet no enemy could capture any of the ten horses. To Brahma’s dismay, horses came back safely with their armies. Lord Brahma was much ashamed of the failure of his trickery and abandoned the thought of any other attempt.

Yogini
Shiva summoned sixty yoginis on the advice of his wife Goddess Parvati. He commanded the band to go to Kashi and disrupt the perfectness of Divodasa’s rule. When the yoginis arrived at Kashi, they were overwhelmed after seeing the perfectness. They abandoned the thought of causing any harm to it. Instead, they decided to never leave the city. When they did not return

Five Elements
The king divodasa grew stronger and stronger. So strong that Gods began to become jealous.
- Indra– the God of rain,
- Agni– the God of fire, and
- Vayu– the God of air took rain, fire, and air back in order to disrupt the rule of the king.
- rain,
- fire, and
- air
