वायुरुवाच अत्र वः कुशलं विप्राः कच्चिद्वृत्ते महाक्रतौ ॥ कच्चिद्यज्ञहनो दैत्या न बाधेरन्सुरद्विषः ॥ ११ ॥

Vāyu said:— O brahmins, hope you are all quite well, now that this great sacrifice has concluded. Hope that the Asuras, the enemies of the gods, the destroyers of sacrifices do not harass you.

english translation

प्रायश्चित्तं दुरिष्टं वा न कच्चित्समजायत ॥ स्तोत्रशस्त्रगृहैर्देवान् पित्ःन् पित्र्यैश्च कर्मभिः ॥ १२ ॥

I hope that no atonement or evil deeds have been committed. They worshiped the gods with stotras, weapons and houses and with the rituals of their ancestors.

english translation

कच्चिदभ्यर्च्य युष्माभिर्विधिरासीत्स्वनुष्ठितः ॥ निवृत्ते च महासत्रे पश्चात्किं वश्चिकीर्षितम् ॥ १३ ॥

I hope you have worshiped me and performed the ritualistic ceremonies. And after the great sacrifice is over what do you intend to do?

english translation

इत्युक्ता मुनयः सर्वे वायुना शिवभाविना ॥ प्रहृष्टमनसः पूताः प्रत्यूचुर्विनयान्विताः ॥ १४ ॥

When addressed thus by Vāyu, the meditator on Śiva, the sages were delighted in their minds. They considered themselves sanctified. They replied thus humbly.

english translation

मुनय ऊचुः अद्य नः कुशलं सर्वमद्य साधु भवेत्तपः ॥ अस्मच्छ्रेयोभिवृद्ध्यर्थं भवानत्रागतो यतः ॥ १५ ॥

Today we have attained bliss; our penances are rendered fruitful since you have come for the increase of our welfare.
