ततोऽतिहृष्टास्सकलास्सुरेशाः प्रणम्य विष्णुं दिशि विप्र तस्याम् ॥ ययुः स्वधामानि पितामहाद्याः कृतस्वकार्यं भगवंतमीड्यम् ॥ ४१ ॥

Then the gods were delighted. They bowed to lord Viṣṇu who had finished their task and who deserved worship, O Brahmin. Thereafter Brahmā and others returned to their abodes.

प्रवर्णितं त्वंधकजन्म रुद्राद्धिरण्यनेत्रस्य मृतिर्वराहात् ॥ नृसिंहतस्तत्सहजस्य नाशः प्रह्लादराज्याप्तिरिति प्रसंगात् ॥ ४२ ॥

Thus incidentally, I have narrated to you the story of Andhaka’s birth from Rudra, the death of Hiraṇyākṣa at the hands of the Boar, the annihilation of his brother Hiraṇyakaśipu by the Man-lion and the coronation of Prahlāda.
