SHIVA'S GREAT ANGER DESTROYS DAKSHA
"Jai Shiv Shanker Babham Bhayanker!” cried the ganas, and then added, “Jai Ho Veerbhadra!!”Narada noted that Shiva, in His darkest mood, had turned into a terrifying and almost sinister appearance, and yet he was the paradoxical hero. He moved like a one-man army getting ready to wreak havoc on all those who came in its way.He arrived at the point where Sati had died. He had struck down the guards, gatemen, army and police in a matter of moments, like a celestial tsunami unleashed, which would terrify even Yama, the God of Death Himself.
Daksha shouted at his soldiers and rishis “Challenge Him! Challenge the fake ascetic! Show Him some real ascetic prowess! Take Him to task, this vagabond warrior, and teach Him a lesson in valour and action. Thrash Him, so that He never dares to raise His voice, much less His sword against your king, the great Daksha Prajapati!”
What followed was mayhem. Veerbhadra beat down all the soldiers, clubbing some, breaking their teeth, dragging others by their hair; still, others were kicked with sheer indifference to their stature. It did not matter who anyone was. Nobody was anybody for Shiva Veerbhadra in His dark mood. He headed towards Daksha in swift strides, like a tiger hastening his pace on spotting his prey.
