द्वितीये हि युगे शर्वमक्रोधव्रतमास्थितम् । दिव्यं सहस्रं वर्षाणामसुरा अभिदुद्रुवुः ।। १५ ।।
तपोविन्नाशनाः कर्तुं तपोविनं महात्मनः । पश्यन् समर्थधोपेक्षां चक्रे दक्षः प्रजापतिः ॥ १६ ॥
पुनर्माहेश्वरं भागं ध्रुवं दक्षः प्रजापतिः । यज्ञे न कल्पयामास प्रोच्यमानः सुरैरपि ॥ १७ ॥
ऋचः पशुपतेर्याश्च शैन्य आहुतयश्च याः । यशसिद्धिप्रदास्ताभिर्हीनं चैवं स इष्टवान् ॥ १८ ॥
अथोत्तीर्णवतो देवो बुद्ध्वा दक्षव्यतिक्रमम् । रुद्रो रौद्रं पुरस्कृत्य भावमात्मविदात्मनः ॥ १९ ॥

{"source": "Samhita : Charaka Samhita Part 2, Chapter :3, Sthanam :Chikitsasthanam, Shloka Number: 15 to 25", "explanation": "These verses (15-19) describe the events leading up to Lord Shiva's wrath and the subsequent creation of a fever-inducing being.  Here's a breakdown:\n\n**Verse 15:** During the Treta Yuga, Lord Shiva was observing a vow of non-anger (akrodhavrata).  Asuras (demons), whose very nature thrives on disrupting penance, harassed him for a thousand divine years.\n\n**Verse 16:** Daksha Prajapati, despite having the power to intervene, knowingly ignored the demons' torments of Lord Shiva.\n\n**Verse 17:**  Daksha further disrespected Lord Shiva by intentionally excluding him from a yagna (sacrifice), even after being advised by the Devas (gods) to include him.\n\n**Verse 18:** Daksha conducted the yagna without the necessary mantras and offerings dedicated to Pashupati (Lord of animals), a form of Shiva. These omissions were crucial for the yagna's success, indicating Daksha's deliberate disregard.\n\n**Verse 19:** Upon completing his vow and learning of Daksha's transgressions, Lord Shiva, the knower of the self (atmavid), became enraged (raudra bhava). This marked the beginning of his transformation into the wrathful form.\n\n**Overall Significance:** This narrative establishes a symbolic connection between fever and divine anger. Daksha's actions represent a disruption of cosmic balance and disrespect for a powerful deity.  The resulting fever is a manifestation of this imbalance.  The story also highlights the importance of respecting all aspects of the divine and maintaining harmony in the universe."}
