येये यज्ञोचिताश्शांताः पात्रभूतास्समागताः ॥ वेदवेदार्थतत्त्वज्ञास्सर्वे यूयं दृढव्रताः ॥ ॥ ४१ ॥

Whoever is worthy of being included in the sacrifice and deserves honour has come. You all know the Vedic texts and their meanings. You all are steady in your rites.

english translation

अत्रैव च किमस्माकं रुद्रेणापि प्रयोजनम् ॥ कन्या दत्ता मया विप्र ब्रह्मणा नोदितेन हि ॥ ४२ ॥

Of what avail is Śiva to us in this place? O brahmin, of course I have given my daughter to Him but that was because I was persuaded by Brahmā.

english translation

हरोऽकुलीनोसौ विप्र पितृमातृविवर्जितः ॥ भूतप्रेतपिशाचानां पतिरेको दुरत्ययः ॥४३॥

O brahmin, this Śiva is not a man of nobility. He has neither father nor mother. He is the lord of goblins, ghosts and spirits and is incorrigible.

english translation

आत्मसंभावितो मूढ स्तब्धो मौनी समत्सरः ॥ कर्मण्यस्मिन्न योग्योसौ नानीतो हि मयाऽधुना ॥४४॥

He is a haughty self-conceited fool with false prestige and hostility. He is unworthy of this sacred rite. Hence he is not invited by me.

english translation

तस्मात्त्वमीदृशं वाक्यं पुनर्वाच्यं न हि क्वचित् ॥ सर्वेर्भवद्भिः कर्तव्यो यज्ञो मे सफलो महान् ॥४५॥

Therefore you shall never make such statements as these henceforth. My great sacrifice has to be made fruitful by all of you.
