He cursed Shani Dev and wanted to take revenge for his father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately, &nbsp;Shani fell from the planetary constellation. This made the heavenly gods called Devtas look into the matter because the constellation would lose its balance. At the request of the Devtas, sage Piplaad agreed to forgive Shani. Meanwhile to avoid the impact of the harmful effect of Shani he blessed all the children below sixteen years of age. They would never be affected by the adverse effects of this planet.
