The Hindu Temple v1.c6.s3.36

v1.c6.s3.36

In this version, narrated in the ‘Īśānaśivagurudevapaddhati’, the ‘fall’ is the sequel of an Ābhicārika³⁷ sacrifice. The Chāgāsura, risen from Bhārgava’s fire, pervades the worlds.³⁸ He is produced from the heated energy (tejas) and intentness (tapas) of the Bhārgava. Bhārgava is the son of Bhṛgu, who was born of Varuṇa’s sacrificial fire. Out of this fiery conjunction, the sacrificial animal, the goat arises, invested with Asura-power.
