आवां हरगणौ विप्र तवागस्कारिणौ मुने ॥ स्वयम्बरे राजपुत्र्या मायामोहितचेतसा ॥ ६ ॥

O brahminical sage, we, your former offenders, are the attendants of Śiva. Induced by Śiva you had cursed us when your mind was deluded by the illusory infatuation for the princess at the Svayaṃvara.

english translation

त्वया दत्तश्च नौ शापः परेशप्रेरितेन ह ॥ ज्ञात्वा कुसमयं तत्र मौनमेव हि जीवनम् ॥ ७ ॥

You have given us a curse, but it was caused by the divine will of another. Knowing that the misfortune is a result of such divine will, silence alone is the way of life.

english translation

स्वकर्मणः फलं प्राप्तं कस्यापि न हि दूषणम् ॥ सुप्रसन्नो भव विभो कुर्वनुग्रहमद्य नौ ॥ ८ ॥

We reaped the fruit of our own action. No one is to be blamed for it. O lord, be pleased. Bless us now.

english translation

सूत उवाच ॥ वच आकर्ण्य गणयोरिति भक्त्युक्तमादरात् ॥ प्रत्युवाच मुनिः प्रीत्या पश्चात्तापमवाप्य सः ॥ ९ ॥

Sūta said: On hearing the words of the attendants uttered with devotion and respect, the sage replied lovingly, repenting (for his previous fury).

english translation

नारद उवाच ॥ शृणुतं मे महादेव गणा मान्यतमौ सताम् ॥ वचनं सुखदं मोहनिर्मुक्तं च यथार्थकम्॥! 2-1-5-१०॥

Nārada said: O attendants of Lord Śiva, most worthy of the respect of good people, please listen to my words now free from delusion. They are true and shall make you happy.
