He restored the goddesses—mothers of the gods who had been punished by the Pramathas and others.

दक्षस्य भगवानेव स्वयं ब्रह्मा पितामहः ॥ तत्पापानुगुणं चक्रे जरच्छागमुखं मुखम् ॥ ३७ ॥

Lord Brahma made the face of Dakṣa look like the the face of an old goat as a befitting punishment for his sins.

सो ऽपि संज्ञां ततो लब्ध्वा स दृष्ट्वा जीवितः सुधी ॥ भीतः कृताञ्जलिः शंभुं तुष्टाव प्रलपन्बहु ॥ ३८ ॥

He was resuscitated and endowed with good intellect. On seeing Śiva he was afraid. With palms joined in reverence he eulogised Śiva.

दक्ष उवाच ॥ जय देव जगन्नाथ लोकानुग्रहकारक ॥ कृपां कुरु महेशानापराधं मे क्षमस्व ह ॥ ३९ ॥

Dakṣa said:— O lord of the universe, O cause of the blessing for the worlds, O lord, be merciful. Forgive my guilt.
