तुष्टो भव महादेव पाहीद्र शरणागतम् ॥ अग्निरेव शमं यातु भालनेत्रसमुद्भवः ॥ ४१ ॥

O great lord, be pleased. Protect Indra who has sought refuge in you. Let this fire rising from the eye in the forehead be rendered calm.

॥ सनत्कुमार उवाच ॥ इत्याकर्ण्य गुरोर्वाक्यं देवदेवो महेश्वरः ॥ उवाच करुणासिन्धुर्मेघनिर्ह्रादया गिरा॥ ४२ ॥

Sanatkumāra said: On hearing these words of Bṛhaspati, Śiva, the lord of Gods, the ocean of mercy, spoke in a thundering stentorian voice.

english translation

महेश्वर उवाच ॥ क्रोधं च निस्सृते नेत्राद्धारयामि बृहस्पतेः ॥ कथं हि कञ्चुकीं सर्पस्संधत्ते नोज्झितां पुनः ॥४३॥

Lord Śiva said: O Bṛhaspati, how can I take up the fury that has already come out of my eye? A serpent does not wear again the slough that has been cast off.

english translation

सनत्कुमार उवाचु ॥ इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य शंकरस्य बृहस्पतिः ॥ उवाच क्लिष्टरूपश्च भयव्याकुलमानसः ॥ ४४ ॥

Sanatkumāra said: On hearing these words of Śiva, Bṛhaspati’s mind was agitated with fear and he spoke dejectedly.

बृहस्पतिरुवाच ॥ हे देव भगवन्भक्ता अनुकंप्याः सदैव हि ॥ भक्तवत्सलनामेति त्वं सत्यं कुरु शंकर ॥४५॥

Bṛhaspati said: O holy lord, indeed the devotees should be pitied always. O Śiva, thus please make your name Bhaktavatsala (favourably disposed towards the devotees) true.
