रुद्रसंहिता — सतीखण्ड
Chapter 37 · The Destruction of the Sacrifice · Verses 1–68

अथ सप्तत्रिंशोऽध्यायः

Vīrabhadra's gaṇas battle the guardians of the quarters one by one, then Viṣṇu himself takes the field — stunned by his own bow shattered and his discus stilled by Śiva's power. Vīrabhadra beheads Dakṣa and casts his head into the fire, mutilating the gods and sages who abetted the insult to Satī, before returning triumphant to Kailāsa, where a delighted Śiva makes him chief of the gaṇas. गणोंसहित वीरभद्रद्वारा दक्षयज्ञका विध्वंस, दक्षवध, वीरभद्रका वापस कैलास पर्वतपर जाना, प्रसन्न भगवान् शिवद्वारा उसे गणाध्यक्ष पद प्रदान करना
