Daksha said am If the great god has been pleased with me,-if, indeed, I have become an object of favour with him,-if I worthy of kindness,-if the great lord of all creatures is ready to grant me boons, then let all these articles of mine that have been burnt, eaten, drunk, swallowed, destroyed, broken, and polluted,-let all these articles, collected in many long years, and with great care and exertion, prove useless! Let these articles be of use to me! Even this is the boon I pray for! The illustrious Hara, the tearer of Bhaga's eyes, said to him,-'Let it be as you say!' these were the words of that illustrious progenitor of all creatures, that god of three eyes, that protector of virtue.
यदि प्रसन्नो भगवान् यदि चाहं भवत्प्रियः। यदि वाहमनुग्राह्यो यदि वा वरदो मम॥ यद् दग्धं भक्षितं पीतशितं यच्च नाशितम्। चूर्णीकृतापविद्धं च यज्ञसम्भारमीदृशम्॥ दीर्घकालेन महता प्रयत्नेन सुसंचितम्। तन्न मिथ्या भवेन्मह्यं वरमेतमहं वृणे॥ तथास्त्वित्याह भगवान् भगनेत्रहरो हरः। धर्माध्यक्षो विरूपाक्षस्त्र्यक्षो देवः प्रजापतिः॥
