With your desires fulfilled and your enemies slain, go joyfully to your own abodes."
The gods then bowed down to the supreme god and went to their own dwellings. // 65
The god too, being praised by the Siddhas, together with the chiefs of the Gaṇas—
Caṇḍeśa, Nandīśvara, and Vīrabhadra—the three-eyed maker of the universe, went to the peak of Kailāsa. // 66
Thus has this unbearable deed of the God of gods,
known as the Burning of Tripura, been told to you by me, O Vyāsa.
Whatever human being, pure and devoted to Śarva, recites this,
becomes free of sin, a partaker of heaven, born among the gods. // 67
Thus in the Skandapurāṇa, in the Slaying of Tripura, ends the one hundred and seventieth chapter.
