अथ दक्षः प्रसन्नात्मा शिवं लज्जासमन्वितः ॥ तुष्टाव प्रणतो भूत्वा शंकरं लोकशंकरम् ॥ ३१ ॥

Then after regaining composure and peace of mind, the ashamed Dakṣa bowed and eulogised Śiva, the benefactor of the worlds.

दक्ष उवाच ॥ नमामि देव वरदं वरेण्यं महेश्वरं ज्ञाननिधिं सनातनम् ॥ नमामि देवाधिपतीश्वरं हरं सदासुखाढ्यं जगदेकबांधवम् ॥३२॥

Dakṣa said: I bow to the great lord, the supreme being, the bestower of boons, the store of knowledge, the eternal. I bow to Śiva, the lord of the chief of Gods, always conferring happiness and the sole kinsman of the universe.

नमामि विश्वेश्वर विश्वरूपं पुरातनं ब्रह्मनिजात्मरूपम्॥ नमामि शर्वं भव भावभावं परात्परं शंकरमानतोमि ॥३३॥

I bow to the lord of the universe, of cosmic form, the primordial Being and the form of Brahman itself. I bow to Śiva, the conceiver of world’s happiness and the greater than the greatest.

देवदेव महादेव कृपां कुरु नमोस्तु ते ॥ अपराधं क्षमस्वाद्य मम शंभो कृपानिधे ॥ ॥३४॥

O lord, lord of Devas, be merciful. Obeisance to thee. O Śiva, the storehouse of mercy, forgive my faults.

अनुग्रहः कृतस्ते हि दंडव्याजेन शंकर ॥ खलोहं मूढधीर्देव ज्ञातं तत्त्वं मया न ते ॥ ३५ ॥

O, Śiva, Thou hast blessed me under the pretext of punishing me. O lord, I have been wicked and foolish. Thy real nature I could not understand.
