O son of Brahma, O good-natured

Nurse no ill-will from now on.

All this misfortune came about

because of your heightened arrogance

 

Now you may forget all your sorrows

and live happily as you wish.

Let your glory spread till the sun and moon live

With Siva’s blessings let everything end well.

 

Sloka:

Daksha, who with Siva’s blessings was brought back to life with the head of a goat, concludes the sacrificial rites properly, prostrates in front of Lord Siva and praised him thus.

I am Bhadrakali, the agent of Lord Siva’s wife Sathi

I won’t be content without drinking your blood soon

 

Alas! The abuses hurled on Sathi in this assembly

as you brutes sat and enjoyed! O Lord! Incredible!!

 

 

[Then the battle starts between Daksha and Siva's army, they destroys Daksha's ceremony and behead him. ]

Sloka:

Veerabahdran, with a thousand heads and two thousand arms, along with Bhadrakali and their retinue attacked Daksha’s abode.

If that idiotic son of Brahma doesn’t

give me my due in the sacrificial rites

you may go and kill that evil Daksha today itself

 

O Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali,

victory will be yours!

 

Victory to you, O Sankara, we bow at your lotus feet

I am at your service, please order me what to do

 

Be it demons, gods or humans,

whoever be your enemy in this world

I will capture them all and

bring here right away, you watch me

 

If I so wish land will become sea,

mountains will become caverns,

earth will become ocean and
