Lord Śiva Saves the Universe

poison had fallen and scattered from Lord Śiva's hand while he was drinking.
PURPORT
Mosquitoes, jackals, dogs and other varieties of  dandaśūka , or animals whose bites are poisonous, drank the poison of the  samudra-manthana , the churned ocean, since it was available after it fell from the palms of Lord Śiva.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Eighth Canto, Seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled "Lord Śiva Saves the Universe by Drinking Poison."
