- The chapters range from pan-Hindu deities such as Bhairava and Virabhadra to guardian gods of specific regions and lineages and of different godess cults. Chapters cover violent themes in Śaivite hagiography, the position of Brahmans in relation to cultic carnivorism, guardian heroes in folk epic, the deified dead, the royal mythology of a "Criminal caste", and a wide-ranging overview of transgressive sacrality.
