Vīrabhadra said:: Like the potter’s wheel you have been activised by the Śakti of the Pināka-bearing lord. O immature one, even now, your skull is strung in the necklace of Śiva when you had assumed the form of a tortoise. Why don’t you understand it? Have you forgotten that your physical form of the Boar was tormented by Skanda, the enemy of Tāraka, with an imprecation and curved fang was partially uprooted? O Viṣvaksena (i.e. Viṣṇu), due to your deception, you have been burned at the tip of his trident. At the sacrifice of Dakṣa your head was cut off by me even as you had assumed the form of sacrifice. Even today the fifth head of Brahma[5] your son has been cut off by me. He is born of your umbilical lotus. His strength is so only partial (?). You have been defeated by Dadhīca[6] along with the Maruts in the course of a battle, even as he was scratching his head. How is it forgotten by you?
