Virabhadra said I am neither Rudra nor his consort the goddess Uma. Nor have I come here for partaking of the food. Knowing the fact of Uma's anger, the powerful Lord who is the soul of all creatures has yielded to anger.
वीरभद्र उवाच नाहं रुद्रो न वा देवी नैव भोक्तुमिहागतः॥ देव्या मन्युकृतं मत्वा क्रुद्धः सर्वात्मकः प्रभुः।
