> Bound \[…\] in the realm of the faults of sovereignty, they experience destruction and \[delusion\] just as I did. // 39  
> \[…\] for by the grace \[…\] then. / Having performed auspicious deeds \[…\] you fashioned the realm of Śiva \[…\] // 8.155.40  
> Sanatkumāra said:  
> While he was thus praising, the God holding the trident in his hand, whose banner is the bull, / Śaṃkara, pleased at the end of a thousand years, spoke: // 41  
> “O son, I am pleased, welfare unto you; you have now become free of taint. / I bestow divine vision upon you; behold me, O lord of the Dānavas! // 42  
> \[…\] whatever excellent fruit is desired, / I shall grant all of that; speak, O best of the Dānavas: // 43  
> Whether the state of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, or Indra, difficult for gods to attain, / or else become the king of all the worlds as of old.” // 44  
> Andhaka said:  
> “The states of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Indra are characterized by return \[to worldly rebirth\]; / all that is known to me, even in mind \[…\]. // 45  
> If you are pleased, O Lord of the gods, bestow upon me leadership among the gaṇas, / which is beyond distinction, utterly pure, and forever imperishable.” // 46  
> Devadeva said:  
> “\[…\] worshiped by all the worlds, // 47  
> assuming forms at will, a great yogin, endowed with noble courage, possessed of great strength, / endowed with the qualities of lightness and the rest, beloved, the best of persons.” // 48  
> Sanatkumāra said:  
> Then \[…\] having granted that very rare boon, / Mahādeva \[…\] having become \[…\], vanished right there. // 49  
> \[…\] // 8.155.50  
> Approaching the most desirable, boon-granting God, well-disposed to brahmins, of boundless splendor, / and having arrived \[…\] // 51
