अवशिष्टा भुजास्तस्य चत्वारोऽतीव सुन्दराः ॥ गतव्यथो बभूवाशु शंकरस्य प्रसादतः ॥ ३१ ॥

Only his four beautiful arms were left. Thanks to the grace of Śiva, the demon too was freed from pain.

गतस्मृतिर्यदा बाण शिरश्छेत्तुं समुद्यतः ॥ कृष्णो वीरत्वमापन्नस्तदा रुद्रस्समुत्थितः ॥ ३२ ॥

Forgetting himself, Kṛṣṇa who assumed a great prowess, attempted to cut off the head of Bāṇa. Then Śiva got up.

रुद्र उवाच ॥ भगवन्देवकीपुत्र यदाज्ञप्तं मया पुरा ॥ तत्कृतं च त्वया विप्र मदाज्ञाकारिणा सदा ॥ ३३ ॥

Śiva said: O lord, son of Devakī, O Viṣṇu, what was ordained by me formerly has been accomplished by you who always follow my dictates.

मा बाणस्य शिरश्छिंधि संहरस्व सुदर्शनम् ॥ मदाज्ञया चक्रमिदं स्यान्मोघं मज्जने सदा ॥ ३४ ॥

Do not cut off the head of Bāṇa. Withdraw your weapon Sudarśana. At my bidding the discus shall always be rendered ineffective with regard to my people.

दत्तं मया पुरा तुभ्यमनिवार्यं रणे तव ॥ चक्रं जयं च गोविन्द निवर्तस्व रणात्ततः ॥ ३५ ॥

O Viṣṇu, this unfailing discus and victory in battle were formerly bestowed on you by me. Hence you withdraw from the battleground.
