स भवान् भगवान् शंभो दीनबंधो परात्परः ॥ स्वकृतेन महार्हेण संतुष्टो भक्तवत्सल ॥४१॥

O Śiva, the helper of the distressed, Thou art greater than the greatest. Thou art favourably disposed to thy devotees. Thou art satisfied by thine own action of great value.

Brahmā said: Having thus eulogised lord Śiva, the benefactor of the worlds and the great lord, the patriarch Dakṣa humbly stopped.

Then the delighted Viṣṇu, with palms joined in reverence, eulogised the bull-bannered Śiva in a speech choked with tears after bowing to him.

Viṣṇu said: O great God, O supreme God, the bestower of blessings on the world, O storehouse of mercy, the helper of the distressed, Thou art the great Brahman, the great soul.

O Lord, Thou art all-pervasive and independent. Thy glory can be known only through the Vedas. This Dakṣa is my devotee.
