> By worshipping one who should not be worshipped, and by refusing to worship him who should be worshipped, a man incurs the sin of homicide for ever... - Dhadichi Although it doesn't matter whether he himself claimed about his divinity or not, still Shiva not only said he should be worshipped, in addition, he claimed himself to be the ultimate enjoyer of any sacrifice or offering. No sacrifice is complete without sacrificing in the name of Shiva, this is ascertained in all Daksha Sacrifices. For instance, I am presenting episode of Daksha sacrifice happened in current Manvantara. In this episode of [Mahabharata Book 12 Shanti Parva][1], Shiva says to her wife, > Thou dost not know me, O goddess! Thou knowest not, O thou of delicate limbs and low belly, **what words are proper to be addressed to the Lord of Sacrifices.** O lady of large eyes, **I know that it is only the sinful, who are bereft of contemplation, that do not understand me.** It is through thy power of illusion that the deities with Indra at their head and the three worlds all become stupefied. **It is to me that the chanters utter their praises in Sacrifices. It is to me that the Saman-singers sing their Rathantaras. It is to me that Brahmanas conversant with the Vedas perform their Sacrifices. And it is to me that the Adhvaryus dedicate the shares of sacrificial offerings.** [1]: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m12/m12b111.htm
