असकृद्दक्षिणेनाक्ष्णा पुनर्मामेव पश्यति ॥ असूयमानो मे रूपप्रेम सौभाग्यसंपद ॥ २१ ॥

And seeing me with his right eye jealously why does he marvel at my beauty, love and good luck.

इति देवीगिरं श्रुत्वा प्रहस्य प्राह तां प्रभुः ॥ उमे त्वदीयः पुत्रोऽयं न च क्रूरेण चक्षुषा ॥ २२ ॥

Hearing the words of the Goddess, the Lord (Shiva) smiled and replied to her: "O Umā, this is indeed your own son, and he should not be looked upon with harsh eyes."

संपश्यति तपोलक्ष्मीं तव किं त्वधिवर्णयेत् ॥ इति देवीं समाभाष्य तमीशः पुनरब्रवीत् ॥२३॥

He (this being) fully beholds the splendor of penance—what more, O Goddess, could one possibly describe? Thus addressing the Devi, the Lord (Īśa, i.e., Shiva) again spoke to her.

वरान्ददामि ते वत्स तपसानेन तोषितः ॥ निधीनामथ नाथस्त्वं गुह्यकानां भवेश्वरः ॥२४॥

Dear son, I am delighted at your penance. I shall give you the boon you desire. You will be the lord of treasures and the lord of Guhyakas.
