4.5.9 – 26

Even though the audience felt that the turmoil was caused by Sathi’s sacrifice, they were afraid of Daksha and so resolved to keep quiet. But Daksha’s wives became so sad and they fearlessly pointed out the true cause.  Bhagavatham says, by nature Lord Siva is the Deva of destruction. Now who can destroy His anger and save the Yaga? As they stood perplexed, Siva’s people charged towards the Yagam and started destroying every thing.

Daksha’s people tried to beat them, but in vain. Ultimately Veerabhadra killed Daksha like a cow. As their duty was over, Veerabhadra and other aides  went back to Kailasam, the abode of Lord Siva.

Note – Bhagavatham fifth chapter of Fourth canto ends here.  Here we have seen, how the unwise expectations of Daksha had turned out to be disastrous for himself and all others. You must be extremely careful when you are in a leading position, as it will affect so many people and families.
