Shloka 34
प्रलय-प्रक्रिया (Pralaya Process) — Guṇa-Withdrawal and Pratisaṃcara
यथेष्टं गच्छ दैत्येन्द्र स्वस्ति तेडस्तु महासुर । आदित्यो नैव तपिता कदाचिन्मध्यत: स्थित:
yatheṣṭaṃ gaccha daityendra svasti te ’stu mahāsura | ādityo naiva tapitā kadācin madhyataḥ sthitaḥ ||
Dijo Śakra: «Ve, oh señor de los Daityas, adonde quieras. Que el bienestar sea tuyo, oh gran Asura. El Sol no volverá a abrasar los mundos estando en el cenit del mediodía».

Educational Q&A
Even amid rivalry, a righteous settlement limits collateral suffering: authority is exercised through a binding promise that protects the world from excessive harm (the Sun’s unbearable midday heat).
Śakra (Indra) dismisses the Daitya leader with a blessing and grants him leave to go as he wishes, while also declaring a specific assurance about the Sun’s behavior—he will not scorch the worlds from the zenith—signaling a concluded pact or boon.
