tatas tayor mithas tyaktavairayoḥ kaṇṭhalagnayoḥ /
saṃdhiṃ devāsurāś cakruḥ śāntavairāḥ parasparam //
Then we will issue a decree which shall be for the weal of both." The gods acquiesced in this decision of Śiva's, and made Śrutaśarman do homage to Súryaprabha. Then they renounced their enmity and embraced one another, and the gods and Asuras also laid aside their enmity and made peace with one another. Then, in the hearing of the gods and Asuras, the holy Śiva said this to Súryaprabha: " You must rule yourself in the southern half-vedi, but the northern halt-vedi give to Śrutaśarman. For you are destined, my son, soon to receive the fourfold sovereignty of all the sky-goers, Kinnaras and all. And when you receive this, as you will be in a distinguished position, you must also give the southern half-vedi to Śrikunjarakumára." And as for the heroes slain on both sides in the battle, let them all rise up alive with unwounded limbs. After saying this, Śiva disappeared, and all those heroes, who were slain in that battle, rose up unwounded, as if they had awaked from sleep.
