The God of gods said:
“O gods, I am well pleased; choose the boon you desire!
I shall grant it, O greatly wise ones; do not remain silent, speak out in full!”
The gods said:
“This Hari, O Mahādeva, has his mind afflicted by sin.
Dispel it swiftly from him, like the sun [dispelling] mist!
For the benefit of the world and for the sake of the gods, this mighty one
performs deeds, O Lord of gods; destroy, therefore, his sin!”
