मैत्रेय उवाच इत्यजेनानुनीतेन भवेन परितुष्यता । अभ्यधायि महाबाहो प्रहस्य श्रूयतामिति ॥ १ ॥
maitreya uvāca ity ajenānunītena bhavena parituṣyatā abhyadhāyi mahā-bāho prahasya śrūyatām iti
قال ميتريا: يا فيدورا ذا الساعد القويّ، لما هدّأه براهما بكلامه هكذا رضي بهافا (شيفا)، ثم ابتسم وقال: «اسمعوا».
This verse shows that Lord Śiva became satisfied when Brahmā respectfully entreated him, indicating that humility and sincere reconciliation can restore harmony even after grave conflict.
After the turmoil surrounding Daksha’s sacrifice, Brahmā intervened to pacify Śiva so that the situation could be resolved and the sacrificial proceedings could be properly concluded.
When relationships break due to harsh words or disrespect, approach with humility, seek to appease sincerely, and listen—peace often begins when pride is set aside.
