I related to them exactly what had passed and said "I will do this in battle, O sinless ones, O highly fortunate beings; know I have set out with the desire of slaying the Nivalakavachas and bless me for my success.” (And) being pleased, they paid their adoration to me as to the god, Purandara.
तानब्रुवं यथाभूतमिदं कर्तास्मि संयुगे। निवातकवचानां तु प्रस्थितं मां वधैषिणम्॥ निबोधत महाभागाः शिवं चाशास्त ततो वाग्भिः प्रशस्ताभिस्त्रिदशाः पृथिवीपते। तुष्टुवुर्मी प्रसन्नास्ते यथा देवं पुरंदरम्॥
