My dear Lord Śiva, you are a shareholder of a portion of the sacrifice, and you are the giver of the result. The bad priests did not deliver your share, and therefore you destroyed everything, and the sacrifice remains unfinished. Now you can do the needful and take your rightful share.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O Śiva! Revive the incomplete, sacrifice of Dakṣa, stopped by you, in which the bad priests did not offer you your share, so that you can receive your share. What should be done now? O Śiva (mano)! Revive that sacrifice of Dakṣa which was stopped before completion by you, in which the evil priests did not give you your share, so that you can attain your share (makhaḥ).
Brahmā acknowledges that Śiva was denied his rightful share; that's why the sacrifice imploded. When you've been excluded from what is legitimately yours, the situation cannot heal until that share is restored.
Reflection Questions
  • Whom in my circle have I quietly excluded from a share they deserve — credit, decision-making, presence?
  • Where am I refusing to name aloud the share I've been denied, and how is that silence prolonging the wound?
