Shivji sent him to the earth by giving him a boon of being indestructible. Narmada is also a name for Shankari Narmada due to coming to the earth on the instructions of Lord Shiva.

According to the legend, once Lord Shiva was absorbed in penance, he appeared with his sweat.

Narm means pleasure and the meaning of happiness.
