Hearing these adorations, that Lord of all creatures, viz., Mahadeva, stopped. Indeed, highly pleased, the illustrious god addressed Daksha, saying,-0 Daksha of excellent vows, I have been pleased with these adorations of yours. You need not swell the chorus of my adoration any longer! You shall have my companionship.
स्तुत्वैवं स महादेवं विरराम प्रजापतिः। भगवानपि सुप्रीतः पुनर्दक्षमभाषत॥ परितुष्टोऽस्मि ते दक्ष स्तवनानेन सुव्रत। बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन मत्समीपे भविष्यसि॥
