Skandapurana 7.13.p2

7.13.p2

Sanatkumāra said:
Then, having seen Mahādeva, the sole kinsman of the seven worlds, / with folded hands, bowing with their knees and head, they all said: // 1
"O Lord, best of the gods, for the sake of the world, / a gift was formerly accepted by Hari, through which evil seized him. // 2
Therefore, O Lord of this universe, being implored by us, / bring welfare to your devoted and bowed servant, O Lord of Gods! // 3
Let this sacrifice be completed; let Hari be freed from evil; / let all the gods, along with Indra, recover their own vigor!" // 4
