TRANSLATION

Virabhadra then took the head and, out of his great anger, threw it into
the southern side of the sacrificial fire, offering it as an oblation. In this
way all the followers of Lord Siva devastated all the arrangements for sacri-
fice. After setting fire to the whole arena, they departed for their master’s’
abode, Kailasa.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, Fifth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled ‘Frustration of the Sacrifice
of Daksa.”
