E. दक्ष the Bramhadika, as DAKSHA,
अध्वर a sacrifice,
ध्वंसकृत् subduer or disturber: DAKSHA having on one occasion made a sacrifice, to which he invited all the gods, except his son-in-law SIVA, and his wife SATI, the latter went unbid, and being received coolly, threw herself into the fire; This being informed siva, tore off a lock of his hair and cast it vio- lently on the ground. It started up into being a demon named Birbhadra who being ordered by siva proceeded against DAKSHA, and an affray ensued, in which the gods and Rishis were maltreated and dispersed, and DAKSHA decapitated; he was restored to life, and the head of a ram substituted for the one he had lost.
