(3) After Brahmā became five-faced the brightness of the devas began to decrease day by day. Seeing this the conceited Brahmā said to Śiva: "I am the first who got existence in this world. So by all means I am the eldest." Hearing this Śiva got angry and plucked off the fifth head of Brahmā and threw it away. (Matsyapurāṇa, 183, 84-86).
