शिव उवाच ॥ कृतं त्वनुचितं कर्म मद्रेतो भक्षितं हि यत् ॥ अतोऽनिवृत्तस्ते दाहः पापाधिक्यान्मदाज्ञया ॥ ४६ ॥
Śiva said: An improper action has been committed by you in swallowing my semen. Hence your sin has become formidable at my bidding and the burning sensation has not been cured.

इदानीं त्वं सुखी नाम शुचे मच्छरणागतः ॥ अतः प्रसन्नो जातोऽहं सर्वं दुःखं विनश्यति ॥४७॥
Now that you have sought refuge in me you are sure to be happy. I am pleased with you. All your misery will be dissolved.

कस्याश्चित्सुस्त्रियां योनौ मद्रेतस्त्यज यत्नतः ॥ भविष्यति सुखी त्वं हि निर्दाहात्मा विशेषतः ॥ ४८ ॥
Deposit carefully that semen in the womb of some good woman. You will become happy and particularly relieved of the burning sensation.

॥ ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ शंभुवाक्यं निशम्येति प्रत्युवाच शनैः शुचिः ॥ सांजलिर्नतकः प्रीत्या शंकरं भक्तशंकरम् ॥ ४९ ॥
Brahmā said: On hearing these words of Śiva, Agni replied to Śiva, the benefactor of the devotees with pleasure and bowing down with palms joined in reverence.

दुरासदमिदं तेजस्तव नाथ महेश्वर ॥ काचिन्नास्ति विना शक्त्या धर्तुं योनौ जगत्त्रये ॥ 2-4-2-५० ॥
O lord Śiva, this splendour of yours is inaccessible and unbearable. There is no woman in the three worlds except Pārvatī to hold it in her womb.
