Śiva sends Bhairava, born of his own frown, to behead deceitful Brahmā for his false witness. At Viṣṇu's tearful plea Brahmā is spared his life, but Śiva curses him to go without worship, temple or festival in the world, and gives Brahmā instead mastery over rites; the ketakī flower, banished for its false testimony, is likewise barred from Śiva's own worship, though promised a place in the worship of others.शिव अपनी भृकुटी से उत्पन्न भैरव को कपटी ब्रह्मा का सिर काटने भेजते हैं। विष्णु की अश्रुपूर्ण प्रार्थना पर ब्रह्मा के प्राण बच जाते हैं, पर शिव उन्हें संसार में पूजा, मन्दिर और उत्सव से वंचित होने का शाप देते हैं, और बदले में यज्ञों पर आधिपत्य देते हैं; झूठी गवाही देने वाली केतकी को भी शिव की अपनी पूजा से निष्कासित कर दिया जाता है, यद्यपि उसे अन्य पूजाओं में स्थान का वचन मिलता है।
