O Nārada, Śiva, the lord who had assumed body sportively, granted boons and honour to all present there. O dear one, Viṣṇu and others taking leave of the great lord delightedly returned to their respective places. They were duly honoured [ādṛta—svasthānañjagmurādṛtāḥ] and their faces beamed with pleasure”.
