dakṣasya tu vṛthā śāpo na kṛtastena lāṃchanam ..
somaḥ prabhāsate lokānvaraṃ prāpya maheśvarāt ..
vyaktībhūtaḥ sa deveśaḥ somasyaiva mahātmanaḥ .. 115 ..

Dakṣa's curse, however, was not made void; by it a mark remained. / Having obtained a boon from Maheśvara, Soma illuminates the worlds. / That Lord of gods became manifest to the great-souled Soma alone. // 115
