English	Lord Śiva's touch saved Vṛkāsura from committing suicide, and the demon's injuries healed immediately. Lord Śiva said, "My dear Vṛkāsura, you do not need to cut off your head. I do not know why you thought cutting off your head would satisfy me. I become satisfied even by an offering of a little water."
