Seeing this all animal, mobile and immobile, were stricken with terror. Thereupon trembled all the three worlds consisting of mobile and immobile begins, the celestials and all the serpents became inert. Being apprised (of this conflict) by virtue of meditation the two foremost of ascetics Pulastya and Gälava remonstrated with them in many a way and prevented the king (Māndhātā) and the foremost of Rākṣasas. Thereupon that man and demon being reconciled with one another went back by the ways they had respectively come.
दृष्ट्वा त्रस्तानि भूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च। वरदानात्तु रुद्रस्य तपसाराधितं महत्॥ तत: संकम्पते सर्वं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम्। देवाः संकम्पिताः सर्वे लयं नागाश्च संगताः॥ अथ तौ मुनिशार्दूलौ ध्यानयोगादपश्यताम्। पुलस्त्यो गालवश्चैव वारयामास तं नृपम्॥ सोपालम्भेश्च विविधैर्वाक्यै राक्षससत्तमम्। तौ तु कृत्वा तदा प्रीति नरराक्षसयोस्तदा॥ संप्रस्थितौ सुसंहृष्टौ पथा येनैव चागतौ॥
