Narayaneeyam
Dashaka 16
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Owing to the extreme indulgence given to him by Brahmaa, Daksha was blinded with hautiness and overpowered by Rajoguna. Alas! He had no respect for Thee and had lost his mental calmness. So he became antagonistic to Shiva who is Thee alone in another form. He performed a sacrifice to show his enemity towards Shiva and also slighted his own daughter Sati.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Enraged, Shiva disrupted the sacrifice of Daksha and also cut off his head. However on being propitiated by the gods, Shiva restored Daksha to life again. His sacrifice was then completed by Thy grace, and he also achieved mental peace. O Lord of Guruvaayur! O Bestower of calmness! deign to protect me. |
