सप्तर्षिभि: स्तुतो देवस्ततो लोक॑ ययौ तदा । “तब महादेवजीने उस तपस्विनीसे कहा--'एवमस्तु” (ऐसा ही हो)। फिर सप्तर्षियोंने उनकी स्तुति की। तत्पश्चात् महादेवजी अपने लोकमें चले गये
saptarṣibhiḥ stuto devas tato lokaṃ yayau tadā |
അപ്പോൾ മഹാദേവൻ ആ തപസ്വിനിയോട്— “ഏവമസ്തു” (തഥാസ്തു) എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. പിന്നെ സപ്തർഷിമാർ അദ്ദേഹത്തെ സ്തുതിച്ചു; അതിനുശേഷം മഹാദേവൻ തന്റെ ലോകത്തിലേക്ക് പോയി.
