Rudra’s Omitted Share in the Yajña (रुद्रभागानुपपत्तिः — यज्ञोपाख्यानम्)
त्यम्बक: सवितुर्बाहू भगस्य नयने तथा । पूृष्णश्न दशनान् क्रुद्धों धनुष्कोट्या व्यशातयत्
tryambakaḥ savitur bāhū bhagasya nayane tathā | pūṣṇaś ca daśanān kruddho dhanuṣkoṭyā vyaśātayat ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：三目者特里扬巴迦（湿婆）怒不可遏，击断萨维特利之双臂，又毁婆伽之双目；并以弓梢击碎普尚之齿。此颂昭示：祭仪纷争中若嗔怒失控，便会酿成惨烈而失度的伤害，纵使受敬的天神亦难幸免，使本为立序之礼反成暴烈报复之场。

The verse highlights the ethical danger of uncontrolled anger: when fury governs action, even sacred contexts and exalted beings become subject to disproportionate injury, and order (dharma) is eclipsed by retaliation.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a moment where Tryambaka (Śiva), in anger, maims Savitṛ (cuts off his arms), blinds Bhaga (destroys his eyes), and breaks Pūṣan’s teeth using the tip of his bow—depicting a violent divine intervention amid a sacrificial dispute.
