] S'iva, who destroyed the sacrifice of Daksha, his father-inlaw and consequently called togesieti. Daksha was one of the ten sons of Brahman; being born from his right thumb. He is said to be the chief of Prajâpatis or patriarchs of mankind and to have many daughters, 27 of whom became the wives of the Moon and 13 of Kas'yapa. At one time Daksha celebrated a grand sacrifice and invited all the gods and sages; but neither S'iva nor Sati his daughter whom he espoused to S'iva. Sati, however, went to the sacrifice; but being greatly insulted threw herself into fire and perished. When S'iva heard this he was very much provoked and according to one account, himself went to the sacrifice, completely destroyed it, and persued Daksha, who assumed the form of a deer. and at last decapitated him. But S'iva is said to have afterwards restored him to life, and he thenceforward acknowledged the God's supremacy. According to another account, S'iva when provoked tore off a hair from his matted hair and dashed it with great force against the ground, when lo! a powerful demon started up and awaited his orders. He was told to go and destroy Daksha's sacrifice ; whereupon the mighty demon attended by several demi-gods went to the sacrifice, routed the gods and priests and according to one account beheaded Daksha himself", -Apte.-[quyun.] Epithet of Kârtikeya, the Indian Mars.—[ *.] Name of a mountain cleft by Kârtikeya, also of a demon of the same designation.
