(Vamana Purana, Chapter 2). (3) Once the prajapatis performed a sacrifice. Brahma, Visnu and Siva were present there. Daksa, who had been invited by the prajapatis also was present, When Daksa entered the hall his son-in-law Siva did not rise up. ‘This arrogance of Siva made Daksa angry. Daksa made up his mind to take vengeance on Siva, and performed a sacrifice known as Brhaspatisavana. To that sacrifice he did not invite Siva or Sati. Hearing that her father was conducting a sacrifice Sati came uninvited. But Daksa did not even look at her. Satidevi whose heart was broken at this treatment made a fire and jumped into it and died. Siva became furious when he came to know of this, Being overwhelmed with Sorrow and anger he beat hismatted hair on the ground, from which two monsters, Virabhadra and Bhadrakali, fame out. They ran to Daksa’s sacrificial hall and des- troyed everything they saw, killed everybody, caught hold of Daksa and cut off his head. Then they began to create havoc in the whole world. The hermits and sages began to take to flight. Men and animals shivered. ‘Thus the three worlds began to tremble with fear. The gods approached Siva with supplication to curb his gnger, ‘The gracious Safkara was pleased to recall the eeesiers. Afver that everybody requested him to bring. Daksa back to life. But the search made for the head of Dakia was futile. At last Brahma took the head of a goat and joined it to the headless trunk of Daksa. Thus Fen vas brought to life again.’ (Devi Bhagavata, Skandha 7)- 4) Cursing Candra, Candra had married twentyseven daughters of Daksa. But he showed particular attach- fhent to Rohini. “The other twentysix. wives could not bear this. They made a complaint to their father Daksa; Daksa called Candra and advised him to show equal attachment to all his wives and not to show any partia~ ity to anyone, Candra did not gainsay, his father-in- Taw, but he did not make any change in his dispo After a few days all the daughters except Rohini fo the palace of Daksa and told him that they were going to stay with him, This time Daksa got angry and Bulled Candra and cursed him to become a sick man (of consumption). From that day onwards Candra became a patient affec~ ted with consumption. All the vegetations in the world began to weaken, It appeared that the world was bout to be destroyed. So the gods approached Daksa and requested him to show some leniency towards Gandra’ Daksa accordingly called Candra and told him that he would be affected by consumption only for a fortnight and after that he would recover gradually. Candra went to Prabhdsa tirtha and Sarasvati tirtha and dipped in water. He began to recover from that day, Seep sccording to the curse of Daksa that Candra (Moon) waxes and wanes. (M.1 Salya Parva, Chapter 35). 5) Other information. (1) Daksa has another name ‘Kan’. Daksa the Prajapati is a son of ten fathers. He has two names, They are Daksa and Kan.” (M.B.
