Understanding that the goddess Uma had become filled with ire and grief, the powerful Mahadeva, who is the soul of all things, yielded to anger. How, again, through his grace, was Daksha enabled to gather again the divided limbs of that Sacrifice? I wish to know all this, Tell me all this, O Brahmana, truely as it took place.
देव्या मन्युकृतं मत्वा क्रुद्धः सर्वात्मकः प्रभुः। प्रसादात् तस्य दक्षेण स यज्ञः संधित: कथम्। एतद् वेदितुमिच्छेयं तन्मे ब्रूहि यथातथम्॥
