What a fool you are to stop the

son of Brahma? Get out of here.

 

Sloka:

As Dakshan was about to enter Siva’s abode Nandikeswara forcibly stopped him and angrily spoke thus.

 

Sloka:

Dakshan, after listening to the words of Indra, desired to see Lord Siva and happily proceeded to Mount Kailas. Seeing Daksha approach, the great Nandikeswara thought thus.

O good-natured son of Brahma,

don’t malign Siva even slightly

 

It’s only at His feet that the

seven worlds seek refuge

 

Alas! insulting Siva is at the root of

all misfortunes on earth

 

You may pray to Siva always

have no doubts about that

 

Go and meet the Lord now

and all blessings will be yours

 

Sloka:

Dakshan gets very angry on hearing that Siva has suddenly left with his daughter. He forgets that Siva is the Supreme Lord, and thinks of him merely as his son-in-law. Nursing a big grudge against Siva, Daksha spoke to the gods with contempt.
