plucked head of Brahma- Brahma Capaala

Severed fifth head stuck to Shiva, began gobbling food, robbing the host of all nourishment.
Dewi approached Wishnu for remedy; and prepared delicacies as counselled.

She fed the head - it ate out of her palm.
When it was sufficiently addicted, she dropped a morsel - and another, and another.

The head dropped down to savor.

Shiva seized the moment, transformed into a limbless linga. The head could not reattach. Dewi scaled up her form, trampled the Capaala deep into earth.

Fed up with her 'me-too' allegations, Wishnu scaled up his form and trampled Dewi - deep into earth. And she surfaced, through a termite hill.
