भवद्भिश्च स्थितं ह्यत्र यदा भवति निश्चितम् ॥ तदा भवद्भिः कर्त्तव्यं शिवाज्ञापरिपालनम् ॥५१॥

When it is certain that you are standing here, you must carry out the directions of Śiva.

इदानीं तु मया चात्र शिवाज्ञापरिपालनम् ॥ सत्यं च क्रियते वीरा निर्णीतं मे यथोचितम् ॥५२॥

O heroes, now I have to carry out the orders of Pārvatī faithfully. I have decided what is proper.

तस्माच्छिवगणास्सर्वे वचनं शृणुतादरात् ॥ हठाद्वा विनयाद्वा न गंतव्यं मन्दिरे पुनः ॥ ५३ ॥

Hence, O Gaṇas of Śiva, you shall listen with attention. You shall not enter the apartment either forcibly or humbly.

॥ ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ इत्युक्तास्ते गणेनैव सर्वे ते लज्जिता गणाः॥ ययुश्शिवांतिकं तं वै नमस्कृत्य पुरः स्थिताः ॥५४॥

Brahmā said: The Gaṇas when decisively told by Gaṇeśa became ashamed. They went to Śiva. After bowing to him they stood in front of him.

स्थित्वा न्यवेदयन्सर्वे वृत्तांतं च तदद्भुतम् ॥ करौ बद्ध्वा नतस्कंधाश्शिवं स्तुत्वा पुरः स्थिताः ॥५५ ॥

Then they acquainted him with that news of wonderful nature. They joined their palms, stooped their shoulders, eulogised Śiva and stood in front of him.
