- "But it is equally clear at the firewalk that they are not the only such models, and this is what is so revealing about the Dindigul myth. The model for the Pāṇḍavas' madness of Brahmanicide is ultimately none other than the Brahmanicide Śiva—a point that allows us to insist once again that the affinities between the Pāṇḍavas and Śiva are what unlock many of the theological implications, not only of the Draupadī cult Mahābhārata, but of the classical epic itself (see Hiltebeitel 1980c; 1982b, 82; 1984a, 15-26)."
