Maheshvara answered him, telling,-Go and destroy the Sacrifice of Daksha. Thus commanded, that Being of leonine powers who had come out from the mouth of Mahadeva wished to destroy the Sacrifice of Daksha, without displaying all his energy and without the help of anyone else, for removing the anger of Uma.
तमुवाचाक्षिप मखं दक्षस्येति महेश्वरः। ततो वक्त्राद् विमुक्तेन सिंहेनैकेन लीलया।॥ देव्या मन्युव्यपोहार्थं हतो दक्षस्य वै क्रतुः।
