भवस्य पूजनान्नित्यं बदर्याश्रमवासिनः॥ प्राप्नुवन्ति यतः सोऽसौ भक्ताभीष्टप्रदः सदा ॥ ११॥

Since the residents of Badarikāśrama derive their desires every day by worshipping him, he is called the bestower of the desires of his devotees ever.

तद्दिनं हि समारभ्य केदारेश्वर एव च ॥ पूजितो येन भक्त्या वै दुःखं स्वप्नेऽति दुर्लभम् ॥ १२॥

From that day onwards, if anyone worships Kedāreśvara with devotion he will not suffer distress even in dreams.

यो वै हि पाण्डवान्दृष्ट्वा माहिषं रूपमास्थितः ॥ मायामास्थाय तत्रैव पलायनपरोऽभवत् ॥ १३ ॥

It was he who on seeing Pāṇḍavas assumed the form of a buffalo, having recourse to his magical skill and began to run away.

धृतश्च पाण्डवैस्तत्र ह्यवाङ्मुखतया स्थितः ॥ पुच्छ चैव धृतं तैस्तु प्रार्थितश्च पुनःपुनः ॥ १४ ॥

When he was caught by the Pāṇḍavas he stood with his face bent down. They held his tail and implored him again and again.

तद्रूपेण स्थितस्तत्र भक्तवत्सलनामभाक् ॥ नयपाले शिरोभागो गतस्तद्रूपतः स्थितः ॥ १५ ॥

He remained in that form in the name of Bhaktavatsala. His head portion went and remained fixed in the city of Nayapāla. The lord stood in that form there.
