एवमुक्त्वा स भगवांस्ततश्चादर्शनं गतः । चंडशर्मापि तं हृष्टः पूजयामास तत्त्वतः
evamuktvā sa bhagavāṃstataścādarśanaṃ gataḥ | caṃḍaśarmāpi taṃ hṛṣṭaḥ pūjayāmāsa tattvataḥ
ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ് ഭഗവാൻ പിന്നെ ദർശനത്തിൽ നിന്ന് അപ്രത്യക്ഷനായി. ചണ്ഡശർമനും ആനന്ദഭരിതനായി തത്ത്വവും വിധിയും അനുസരിച്ച് ആ ലിംഗത്തെ യഥാവിധി പൂജിച്ചു.
