Nandīśvara tells Sanatkumāra the story of Bhairava, Śiva's own complete form, whom the deluded fail to recognize behind the veil of Śiva's māyā — a māyā so hard to overcome that even four-armed Viṣṇu and four-faced Brahmā cannot fathom Maheśvara's greatness, and none can know him except by his own grace. Long ago the gods and sages, wishing to learn the one imperishable truth, approached Brahmā on Meru's peak; Brahmā, deluded by that māyā, declared himself the sole cause and ruler of all worlds. Viṣṇu, hearing this with equal pride, laughed and claimed the same supremacy for himself, and the two quarrelled over who was greater. To settle the dispute they questioned the four Vedas, who, remembering the true Lord, answered that Rudra-Śiva alone, the all-seeing, is the one imperishable truth. Bewildered afresh by māyā, Brahmā and Viṣṇu mocked the Vedas as senseless, unable to believe that a beggarly, ash-smeared, matted-haired wanderer who dallies with Pārvatī could be the formless supreme brahman. Then the syllable Praṇava itself took form and told them that Rudra never acts apart from his own eternal, inseparable Śakti — yet even this failed to dispel their delusion. A great light then blazed up between heaven and earth, and within it Brahmā and Viṣṇu beheld a wondrous being. Brahmā's fifth head, burning with anger at this unknown intruder, watched as the being revealed himself as the three-eyed, trident-bearing Nīlalohita; recognizing him, an arrogant, deluded Brahmā laughingly claimed Rudra as a son born long ago from his own weeping brow, and offered him shelter as a father would a child. Enraged by this prideful speech, as if to bring about universal dissolution, Śiva created out of his own fury a blazing being named Bhairava, declared him Kālabhairava, lord of time itself, and set him to punish the arrogant Brahmā, giving him the further names Āmardaka and Pāpabhakṣaṇa for his power to crush the wicked and devour the sins of devotees, and making him eternal sovereign of Kāśī, Śiva's own city of liberation, ruler and judge of every soul who dies there, their deeds recorded by Citragupta. Kālabhairava then severed Brahmā's offending fifth head with the nail of his left finger, and the terrified Viṣṇu and Brahmā, chastened, praised Śiva with the Śatarudriya hymn until their pride vanished and they understood him to be the one, unqualified, supreme brahman — being, consciousness and bliss itself. Reflecting on this, Nandīśvara declares that only by abandoning pride can one know the Lord, for Viśveśvara ever destroys pride wherever it arises. Pleased to find Brahmā and Viṣṇu freed of their conceit, Mahādeva reassured them, then turned to his own matted-haired form as Bhairava and bade him carry Brahmā's skull as an enduring vow of penance for the sin of killing a brāhmaṇa, wandering the world as a mendicant; he then created a maiden named Brahmahatyā, the sin of brahmin-slaying given form, and ordained that she follow the fierce Kālabhairava until he reached the divine city of Vārāṇasī, whereupon she would be freed to enter every other place on earth — Vārāṇasī alone remaining forever closed to her. Having thus charged Brahmahatyā with her task, the wondrous Lord Śiva vanished from sight.नन्दीश्वर सनत्कुमारको भैरवकी कथा सुनाते हैं — भैरव साक्षात् शिवका ही पूर्ण रूप हैं, जिन्हें शिवजीकी दुर्जय मायासे मोहित मूर्ख लोग नहीं पहचान पाते; यहाँतक कि चतुर्भुज विष्णु और चतुर्मुख ब्रह्मा भी महेश्वरकी महिमाको नहीं जान पाते, और परमेश्वर स्वयं कृपा करें तभी कोई उन्हें जान सकता है। बहुत पहले देवता और ऋषिगण अद्वितीय अविनाशी तत्त्वको जाननेकी इच्छासे सुमेरु-शिखरपर ब्रह्माजीके पास गये; मायासे मोहित ब्रह्माजीने स्वयंको ही समस्त लोकोंका मूल कारण और शासक बता दिया। यह सुनकर विष्णुने भी अहंकारपूर्वक हँसते हुए वही सर्वोच्च पद अपने लिये बताया, और दोनोंमें विवाद छिड़ गया। विवाद सुलझानेके लिये उन्होंने चारों वेदोंसे पूछा, जिन्होंने परमेश्वरका स्मरण करते हुए उत्तर दिया कि सर्वद्रष्टा रुद्र-शिव ही एकमात्र अविनाशी तत्त्व हैं। मायासे पुनः मोहित होकर ब्रह्मा और विष्णुने वेदोंको अचेत कहकर उनका उपहास किया, यह मानने को तैयार न हुए कि भस्म रमाये, जटाधारी तथा पार्वतीके साथ विचरण करनेवाला कोई तपस्वी निरंजन परब्रह्म कैसे हो सकता है। तब स्वयं प्रणव मूर्तिमान् होकर प्रकट हुए और बताया कि रुद्र अपनी नित्य तथा अभिन्न शक्तिके बिना कभी लीला नहीं करते — फिर भी उनका मोह दूर न हुआ। इसी बीच आकाश और पृथ्वीके बीच एक महान् ज्योति प्रकट हुई, जिसमें ब्रह्मा और विष्णुने एक अद्भुत पुरुषको देखा। इस अपरिचित पुरुषको देखकर क्रोधसे ब्रह्माका पाँचवाँ सिर जलने लगा; तभी वह पुरुष त्रिनेत्रधारी, त्रिशूलपाणि नीललोहितके रूपमें प्रकट हुआ। मोहवश ब्रह्माजीने उन्हें पहचानकर हँसते हुए कहा कि रुद्र तो पूर्वकालमें उन्हींके ललाटसे रोते हुए उत्पन्न उनका पुत्र है, और उसे अपनी शरणमें आनेको कहा। ब्रह्माके इस अहंकारपूर्ण वचनसे अत्यन्त क्रुद्ध होकर, मानो प्रलय करते हुए, शिवजीने अपने क्रोधसे तेजोमय भैरवको उत्पन्न किया; कालभैरवके रूपमें उन्हें कालका भी स्वामी घोषित करते हुए अहंकारी ब्रह्माको दण्ड देनेका आदेश दिया, उन्हें भैरव, आमर्दक तथा पापभक्षण नामसे विभूषित किया, तथा अपनी मुक्तिपुरी काशीका सदाके लिये अधिपति एवं वहाँ मरनेवाले जीवोंका शासक बनाया, जिनके शुभाशुभ कर्मोंको चित्रगुप्त लिखते हैं। कालभैरवने अपने बायें हाथकी उँगलीके नखसे ब्रह्माका वही पाँचवाँ सिर काट डाला, जिसे देखकर भयभीत विष्णु और ब्रह्मा शतरुद्रिय मन्त्रसे शिवजीकी स्तुति करने लगे, यहाँतक कि उनका अहंकार जाता रहा और उन्हें ज्ञान हुआ कि साक्षात् शिव ही सच्चिदानन्दस्वरूप परब्रह्म हैं। इसीसे नन्दीश्वर कहते हैं कि अहंकार त्यागकर ही परमेश्वरको जाना जा सकता है, क्योंकि विश्वेश्वर शिव सदा अहंकारका नाश करते हैं। ब्रह्मा-विष्णुको निरहंकार जानकर प्रसन्न महादेवने उन्हें आश्वस्त किया और अपने ही दूसरे स्वरूप जटाधारी भैरवसे कहा कि वे ब्रह्महत्याके दोषको दूर करनेके लिये संसारके समक्ष ब्रह्माके कपालको धारणकर कपालव्रतका पालन करते हुए सदा भिक्षाचरण करें; फिर एक ब्रह्महत्या नामक कन्या उत्पन्नकर उसे आदेश दिया कि वह उग्ररूपी कालभैरवके पीछे तबतक चले जबतक वे वाराणसी न पहुँच जायँ, वाराणसी पहुँचते ही वह मुक्त होकर विश्वके अन्य सभी स्थानोंमें प्रवेश पा सकेगी, केवल वाराणसी सदाके लिये उसके लिये वर्जित रहेगी। इस प्रकार ब्रह्महत्याको नियुक्त करके वे अद्भुत प्रभु शिवजी अन्तर्धान हो गये।
