Translation
Agora, ó Senhor Bem-aventurado, escuta o que foi dito—sob o disfarce de louvor—por Brahmā e pelos senhores dos devas e dos asuras. Perdoa esta maravilhosa exibição dos Teus feitos: a subjugação de Makha, a humilhação de Madana, o refreamento de Yama e de Agni, e a extraordinária destruição do sacrifício de Dakṣa.
