DRAKSHARAMAM

There came then an ominous disaster to this flourishing Nagara by the conceited Dakaha's egoistic act. It happened thus-once when Dhaksha went to Brahma's court on some official work, all the assembled except Lord Siva rose up as mark of respect, and he deserved on account of his position as one of the Navabrahmas. But to expect such respect from the highest, one among the Trimurthis is too much - nothing short of idiocy. His superciliousness contrived to make matters worse by launching out into a malicious project of performing a great yagna, inviting to it all the Mukkotidevathas minus Lord Siva, who in fact is one of the three yagnaphala bhoktas. He did it with the wicked design of taking revenge on Siva, who has no other than his son-in-law, little knowing that tables would be turned against him; lie would be destroyed; the entire yagasala would be burnt; and the invitees to be put to rout.
