तस्य चाक्ष्णो महत् तेजो येनायं मथितो गिरि: । त्वत्प्रियार्थ च मे देवि प्रकृतिस्थ: पुनः कृत:,उसी तीसरे नेत्रका यह महान् तेज था, जिसने इस पर्वतको मथ डाला। देवि! फिर तुम्हारा प्रिय करनेके लिये मैंने इस गिरिराज हिमवान्को पुनः प्रकृतिस्थ कर दिया है
tasya cākṣṇo mahat tejo yenāyaṁ mathito giriḥ | tvatpriyārthaṁ ca me devi prakṛtisthaḥ punaḥ kṛtaḥ ||
That mighty radiance of that eye—the third eye—was what churned and shook this mountain. And, O Goddess, for your sake and to please you, I restored this king of mountains, Himavān, once again to its natural, settled state.

Immense power is not merely destructive; it is ethically completed by restoration and restraint. Śiva’s act shows that divine might, when guided by devotion and concern for order, both disrupts and then re-establishes balance.
Maheśvara explains that the tremendous radiance from his eye shook/churned the mountain, but then—out of regard for the Goddess—he returned the mountain (Himavān) to its normal, natural state.
