Nandikeśvara said, “Mahādeva then created a wonderful person named Bhairava from the middle of His brows to quell the pride of Brahmā. This Bhairava knelt before the Lord in the battlefield and said, ‘O Lord, what shall I do? Please give me Your directive quickly.’ 
Śiva said sarcastically, ‘Dear, here is Brahmā, the first deity of the universe. Worship him with your sharp-pointed quick-moving sword.’ Immediately Bhairava caught hold of the śikhā of Brahmā’s fifth head that was guilty of haughtily uttering a falsehood, and furiously shook his sword to cut it off. Your father trembled like a plantain tree in a whirlwind, with his ornaments scattered here and there, his cloth ruffled and loosened, garland displaced, the upper cloth hanging loose and the glossy śikhā dishevelled, and fell at the feet of Bhairava.”
