All the sages were greatly pleased. In order to ward off obstacles (vighnaśānti) they performed the adoration of the planets under my instruction. They worshipped the gods stationed in the altar. After performing the social and Vedic rites in a fitting manner Śiva became pleased and bowed to the Brahmins joyously. [...]”.
