येन ते विद्यते कार्यं वरेणास्मिन्मनोगतम् ॥ तत्करिष्ये च भद्रं ते प्रसन्नोहं तव व्रतैः ॥ ३१ ॥

Whatever boon seems to be useful to you and is desired by you I shall grant it to you. I am delighted by your rites.

ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ इति श्रुत्वा महेशस्य प्रसन्नमनसस्तदा ॥ संध्योवाच सुप्रसन्ना प्रणम्य च मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ ३२ ॥

Brahmā said: On hearing these words of Śiva who was delighted, Sandhyā was highly pleased and she said after repeated obeisance.

संध्योवाच ॥ ॥ यदि देयो वरः प्रीत्या वरयोग्यास्म्यहं यदि ॥ यदि शुद्धास्म्यहं जाता तस्मात्पापान्महेश्वर॥३३॥

O Lord Śiva, if I am to be favoured with the boon, if I am considered worthy of receiving a boon, if I am purified of that sin,[then grant me these boons].

english translation

यदि देव प्रसव्रोऽसि तपसा मम सांप्रतम् ॥ वृतस्तदायं प्रथमो वरो मम विधीयताम् ॥३४॥

if the lord is delighted with my penance, let the first boon chosen by me be granted.

english translation

उत्पन्नमात्रा देवेश प्राणिनोस्मिन्नभः स्थले ॥ न भवंतु समेनैव सकामास्संभवंतु वै ॥३५॥

Let no living being, O lord of the Gods, born in this atmosphere be full of lust at the time of its nativity.
