शिवाज्ञयाथ ते सर्वे स्वंस्वं धाम ययुर्मुने॥ प्राप्तकामाः प्रमुदिता अहं च विष्णुना सह॥४६॥

By Shiva’s command, O sage, all of them returned to their respective abodes, having achieved their desires, full of joy—I too, along with Vishnu.

उपवेश्यासने विष्णुं माञ्च शम्भुरुवाच ह ॥ बहु सम्बोध्य सुप्रीत्यानुगृह्य परमेश्वरः ॥४७॥

Having seated Vishnu upon a throne, Śambhu (Shiva) spoke to him. Addressing him at length and with great affection, the Supreme Lord (Parameśvara) blessed him.

Śiva said: Dear Sons, O Viṣṇu, Brahmā, you are great favourites of mine, entrusted with the work of creation and sustenance of the three worlds. You are the best of the Devas.

गच्छतं निर्भयन्नित्यं स्वस्थानश्च मदाज्ञया ॥ सुखप्रदाताहं वै वाम्विशेषात्प्रेक्षकस्सदा ॥४९॥

Go back to your abodes without any fear. I shall always provide you with happiness. I shall particularly look after you both.

On hearing the words of Śiva, Viṣṇu and I duly bowed to him and though not delighted (in leaving him) returned to our abodes.
