7.8.34_38

[…] / You, that Viṣṇu of great splendour, having always received a boon from me, / [you] whom the ocean gave birth to on its shore as an animal: / all your work has been accomplished, Hiraṇyakaśipu has been slain. / Come, return to your own auspicious, exceedingly wondrous nature.’ / Then that best of śarabhas stepped upon that lion with his feet, / and once again united Keśava with his divine body. / Having thus granted to Viṣṇu the boon of destroying demons, he whose banner bears the bull, / saying, ‘Return to your natural state,’ vanished right there. / Having granted that matchless boon to Viṣṇu, the creator of the world, / the ability to destroy demons, being drunk in by the eyes of the women of heaven's city, / bearing a chest radiant like a dark cloud, the trident-bearer, / praised by the foremost sages, went to his own abode. / Thus in the Skandapurāṇa, in the story of Hiraṇyakaśipu, ends the seventy-first chapter, entitled ‘The Account of the Deliverance of Narasiṃha Accomplished by the Śarabha’.
