Having comforted the gods, Viṣṇu and the rest, and smiling, the treasury of compassion, the supreme Lord, spoke, granting the highest favour: "Let the two Aśvins with their arms and Pūṣan with his hands become the carriers, and let others be the officiating priests; by my word, out of affection for you, (so be it). Bring Dakṣa quickly, he by whom such a thing as this was done. Strange, my dear, is the sacrifice whose fruit is of this sort." Then he (Dakṣa), wishing to praise Bhava, could not, out of love, and being undone by longing, remembering his dead daughter: "The supreme Lord was pierced by me with the arrows of harsh speech; (yet he is) the granter of grace to me, (and to) the immortals who were most wretched and hopeless. O Lord, grace has been shown by you to the gods on account of my son(?). Disregarding your own dishonour, raise up Dakṣa's sacrifice."
