Daksha, who with Siva’s blessings was brought back to life with the head of a goat, concludes the sacrificial rites properly, prostrates in front of Lord Siva and praised him thus.
O Chandrachuda, hail to you
Victory to you, Lord of the Universe
Forgive me forever
for all my misdeeds, O Lord
Hail to you, God Almighty
Not knowing that my virtuous daughter
Sathi has your powers,
I defied you, yet you blessed me,
O generous Lord!
Hail to you, God Almighty!
