The gigantic black man bared his fearful teeth. By the movements of his
brows he scattered the luminaries all over the sky, and he covered them
with his strong, piercing effulgence. Because of the misbehavior of Daksa,
even Lord Brahma, Daksa’s father, could not have been saved from the
great exhibition of anger.
