पूर्ववत्स्थापयित्वा त्वं पुनरागच्छ वै सुखम् ॥ निश्चयं परमं गत्वा यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु ॥ ६६॥

You replace it as before and return happily. Decide ultimately and do as you wish.

Sūta said:— Rāvaṇa, deluded by fate, considered it beneficial when thus advised. Believing in the advice of the sage he went to Kailāsa.

Śivā said:— You have got the return of favouring your disciple, indeed. Something good has happened through this disciple, now that an unequalled strength has been bestowed on a quiet soul who is a great hero.
