(3) Once the prajāpatis performed a sacrifice. Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva were present there. Dakṣa, who had been invited by the prajāpatis also was present. When Dakṣa entered the hall his son-in-law Śiva did not rise up. This arrogance of Śiva made Dakṣa angry. Dakṣa made up his mind to take vengeance on Śiva, and performed a sacrifice known as Bṛhaspatisavana. To that sacrifice he did not invite Śiva or Satī.
