All the rishis once paid homage to both Shiva and Parvati, but Bhringi would not worship Parvati and dedicated himself solely to Shiva.

All the rishis once paid homage to both Shiva and Parvati, but Bhringi would not worship Parvati and dedicated himself solely to Shiva.
Bhringi remained undeterred. Transformed himself in a bee, he bored his way through the male part of androgynous Shiva and continued his worship.
An annoyed Parvati Curses Bhringi to lose all that comes from mother's body (tissues and blood)
(the father is said to be responsible for bones and nerves).So Bhringi is reduced to bones and nerves and cannot even stand.
A compassionate Shiva then gives the now-remorseful rishi a third leg on which to stand. Hence Bhringi is shown as the tripod in Shiva's depictions.Then Parvathi Blesses him to
Become dance master of the gods and
Matsya Puran
Son
