एवं प्रयाते देवेशे लोकानामभयंकरे । तुष्टमासीज्जगतू सर्व देवताश्न नरोत्तम,नरश्रेष्ठ! सम्पूर्ण लोकोंको अभय देनेवाले देवेश्वर महादेवजीके इस प्रकार प्रस्थान करनेपर सारा जगत संतुष्ट हो गया। देवता भी बड़े प्रसन्न हुए
evaṁ prayāte deveśe lokānām abhayam-kare | tuṣṭam āsīj jagat sarvaṁ devatāś ca nara-uttama nara-śreṣṭha ||
ನರೋತ್ತಮನೇ! ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಲೋಕಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಭಯವನ್ನು ನೀಡುವ ದೇವೇಶ್ವರ ಮಹಾದೇವನು ಹೊರಟಾಗ, ಸಮಸ್ತ ಜಗತ್ತು ತೃಪ್ತಿಯಾಯಿತು; ದೇವತೆಗಳೂ ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷಪಟ್ಟರು.

The verse highlights the ethical and spiritual ideal of ‘abhaya’—the removal of fear. A righteous divine presence is portrayed as one that protects and reassures all beings; when such protection is affirmed, harmony and contentment arise in the world.
Bhīṣma narrates that after Mahādeva (Śiva), described as the giver of fearlessness to the worlds, departs, the entire world becomes satisfied and the gods rejoice—signaling that the divine intervention or assurance has successfully restored confidence and order.
