Another story goes, once Naarada thinking that he had mastered the art of music, went to Lord Vishnu, who took him to the abode of the gods. On their way there they passed some women who were weeping over their broken limbs. When asked what had happen by Lord Vishnu, the reply came that they were Raaga and Raagini and were the creation of Lord Shankar.
