However, on seeing the shameless insult to her husband in his absence, and the repeated slights King Daksha and his courtiers railed at Shiva, she committed suicide in grief for her beloved.
Hearing the news, Shiva's attendants rushed inside the ceremony hall and started attacking all the guests present there, however, the demons invoked by Bhrigu defeated Shivas attendants and they retreated back to his abode.
Upon hearing the news of his beloved wife's death, Shiva was furious that Daksha could so callously cause the harm of his ( Daksha's ) own daughter in so ignoble a manner.
Shiva grabbed a lock of his matted hair and dashed it to the ground.
From the two pieces rose the ferocious Virabhadra and the terrible Rudrakali, while Bhadrakali arose from the wrath of Devi herself.
Upon Shiva's orders they stormed the ceremony and killed Daksha as well as many of the guests.
Terrified and with remorse the others propitiated Lord Shiva and begged his mercy to restore Daksha's life and to allow the sacrifice to be completed.
Shiva, the all-merciful One, restored Daksha's life, with the head of a goat.
In his humility, and repentance for his graceless and sinful acts, Daksha became one of Shiva's most devoted, attendants.
