yadabhisikto daksas tu
brahmana paramesthina
prajapatinam sarvesam
adhipatye smayo ’bhavat
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
When Lord Brahma appointed Daksa the chief of all the Prajapatis, the progenitors of population, Daksa became very much puffed up.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Although he was envious and was inimical towards Lord Siva, Daksa was appointed the chief of all Prajapatis. That was the cause of his excessive pride. When a man becomes too proud of his material possessions, he can perform any disastrous act, and therefore Daksa acted out of false prestige. That is described in this chapter.
