Sage Dadhichi gives up his body

पिप्पलादावतारवर्णनं नाम चतुर्विम्शोऽध्यायः

Pippalada incarnation description Chapter 24

 

नन्दीश्वर उवाच |

Nandishwara said (to Sanatkumara)

इत्युक्तस्तेन स मुनिः परोपकरणे रतः |

ध्यात्वा शिवं स्वनाथं हि विससर्ज कलेवरम् || 25 ||

 

Having been told (asked by Indra to give his bones as hard as diamond, to make weapons) so, the sage (Dadhichi) bent on doing good to others, discarded his body after meditating on Shiva, his Lord.
