रुद्रसंहिता — सतीखण्ड
Chapter 34 · The Sighting of Evil Omens · Verses 1–26

अथ चतुस्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः

As Vīrabhadra marches with his host, a cascade of terrible omens strikes Dakṣa's sacrifice — earthquakes, falling stars, showers of blood and scorpions, vomited flesh, vultures shadowing the hall. A bodiless voice from the sky curses Dakṣa and warns his allies of the great sorrow to come, and the terrified Dakṣa flees for refuge to Viṣṇu. दक्ष तथा देवताओंका अनेक अपशकुनों एवं उत्पातसूचक लक्षणोंको देखकर भयभीत होना
