Nandikeśvara said: Mahādeva then created a wonderful person, Bhairava, from the middle of his brows to quell the pride of Brahmā.

This Bhairava knelt before the lord in the battle-field and said—“O lord, what shall I do? Please give me your directives quickly.”

वत्सयोऽयं विधिः साक्षाज्जगतामाद्यदैवतम् । नूनमर्चय खड्गेन तिग्मेन जवसा परम् ३ ।
“Dear, here is Brahmā, the first deity of the universe. Worship him with your sharp-pointed quick-moving sword.”
english translation
स वै गृहीत्वैककरेण केशं तत्पंचमं दृप्तमसत्यभाषणम् । छित्त्वा शिरांस्यस्य निहंतुमुद्यतः प्रकंपयन्खड्गमतिस्फुटं करैः ४ ।
With one of his hands he caught hold of the tuft of Brahma’s fifth head that was guilty of haughtily uttering a falsehood, and with the hands he furiously shook his sword in order to cut it off.

पिता तवोत्सृष्टविभूषणांबरस्रगुत्तरीयामलकेशसंहतिः । प्रवातरंभेव लतेव चंचलः पपात वै भैरवपादपंकजे ५ ।
Your father trembled like a plantain tree in a whirlwind, with his ornaments scattered here and there, his cloth ruffled and loosened, the garland displaced, the upper cloth hanging loose and the glossy tuft dishevelled, and fell at the feet of Bhairava.
