7.8.34_158

"O chief of the gaṇas, have you no shame? Why do you insult your elder?
Indeed, the one whose banner bears the bull will not praise you for speaking so falsely.
Furthermore, O gaṇa, do not show such disrespect to us;
prepared as we are today, we will not leave you with your life!"
Hearing their words, Śaṅkukarṇa, filled with wrath,
enraged, looked askance at the gods and said:
"Are you my elders, O rulers of the immortals, that I should fear you?
It was only having propitiated Śaṅkara that you attained excellent divinity!
