Vīrabhadra Destroys Dakṣa’s Sacrifice
Dakṣa-yajña-vināśa
भगस्य नेत्रे भगवान् पातितस्य रुषा भुवि । उज्जहार सदस्थोऽक्ष्णा य: शपन्तमसूसुचत् ॥ २० ॥
bhagasya netre bhagavān pātitasya ruṣā bhuvi ujjahāra sada-stho ’kṣṇā yaḥ śapantam asūsucat
Virabhadra agarrou imediatamente Bhaga, que movera as sobrancelhas enquanto Daksha amaldiçoava o Senhor Shiva, e com grande ira atirou-o ao chão e arrancou-lhe os olhos.
Because he approvingly witnessed Lord Śiva being cursed; Vīrabhadra, angered by this offense, tore out Bhaga’s eyes as punishment.
This verse shows that endorsing or silently approving blasphemy of a great deity like Lord Śiva is a serious offense with grave consequences.
Do not encourage disrespect toward saintly persons or sacred figures; practice integrity by avoiding and discouraging harmful speech and attitudes.
