### SB 4.2.8

> प्राङ्निषण्णं मृडं दृष्ट्वा नामृष्यत्तदनादृतः ।\
> उवाच वामं चक्षुर्भ्यामभिवीक्ष्य दहन्निव ॥८॥

> prāṅ-niṣaṇṇaṁ mṛḍaṁ dṛṣṭvā\
> nāmṛṣyat tad-anādṛtaḥ\
> uvāca vāmaṁ cakṣurbhyām\
> abhivīkṣya dahann iva

*prāṅ*—before; *niṣaṇṇam*—being seated; *mṛḍam*—Lord Śiva; *dṛṣṭvā*—seeing; *na amṛṣyat*—did not tolerate; *tat*—by him (Śiva); *anādṛtaḥ*—not being respected; *uvāca*—said; *vāmam*—dishonest; *cakṣurbhyām*—with both eyes; *abhivīkṣya*—looking at; *dahan*—burning; *iva*—as if.

**Before taking his seat, however, Dakṣa was very much offended to see Lord Śiva sitting there and not showing any respect to him. At that time he became greatly angry, and, his eyes glowing, he began to speak very strongly against him.**

Lord Śiva, being the son-in-law of Dakṣa, was expected to show his father-in-law respect by standing with the others, but because Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva are the principal demigods, their positions were greater than Dakṣa's. Dakṣa, however, could not tolerate this, and he took it as an insult by his son-in-law. Previously, also, he was not very much satisfied with Lord Śiva because Śiva looked very poor and was niggardly in dress.
