एवं मौनतपस्याख्या ब्रह्मचर्यफलप्रदा ॥ सर्वाभीष्टप्रदा देवि सत्यंसत्यं न संशयः ॥ ६६ ॥

This is called the penance of silence. It yields all the benefits of celibate life. O lady, it confers all cherished desires. True, it is certainly true.

english translation

एवं चित्ते समुद्दिश्य कामं चिंतय शंकरम् ॥ स ते प्रसन्न इष्टार्थमचिरादेव दास्यति ॥ ६७ ॥

Thinking thus in your mind, O lady, you meditate on Śiva. If He is pleased He will confer on you all you wish, ere long.

english translation

ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ उपविश्य वसिष्ठोथ संध्यायै तपसः क्रियाम् ॥ तामाभाष्य यथान्यायं तत्रैवांतर्दधे मुनिः ॥ ६८ ॥

Brahmā said: Vasiṣṭha then sat and explained to Sandhyā the rites of the penance. The sage then vanished from the scene.
