SUMMARY:
The Asuras or demons, who were thus annihilated and rendered toothless or
powerless, wanted to somehow take revenge on Bhimasena. They took birth on
Earth and akin to their natural traits, created works and spread a philosophy of
Lord Brahma being un-attributable or one without attributes. They propounded
Nirgunatwa or a theory of the Lord having no attributes.
The
word VaigunakaThAm signifies the theory of the Lord without attributes.

One
of the prominent enemies of Bhimasena by name Manimanta, who had been killed by
Bhimasena, wanted to attain eloquence in speech, impressed Lord Rudra with
penance and took birth in a Brahmin family at Kaladi. He was called Sankara.
With the sole intention of taking revenge, other prominent demons also took
birth.
Name
of the place Kaladi is indicated with the word ‘AnghritalEshu’ which means
AnGhritala ityasyai KAlaDi ityapaBhraShTasangnA.

Like
a deceitful cat trying to have a share of the remnants of the offerings
submitted in a holy sacrifice called Sannayya, like a dog that normally wants
to consume human waste trying for a share of the holy remnants of ghee offered
in a sacrifice called PuroDasha and like an insane monkey trying to have a gold
necklace, wicked Sankara put his hands on Vedas.
SAnnAyya
is a special item prepared with milk and curds and offered in a holy sacrifice.
This item is a special offering. Similarly, PurODAsha is a special item
prepared with ghee having high fat content.
