Thus addressed by Brahman, Rudra iminediately renounced the fire of his anger and began to please the illustrious and powerful Narayana. Indeed, he soon placed himself at the disposal of the worshipful, boongiving, and powerful Narayana.
ब्रह्मणा त्वेवमुक्तस्तु रुद्रः क्रोधाग्निमुत्सृजन्। प्रसादयामास ततो देवं नारायणं प्रभुम्। शरणं च जगामाद्यं वरेण्यं वरदं प्रभुम्॥
