The son of Vasiṣṭha said:: Thus taking leave of his son after bowing down to Maheśvara and after seeing his wife in the assembly, the sage of perfect control over the senses went away to his father-land. On seeing his father gone after worshipping the lord, the son of Śakti eulogised him with pleasing words. Thereafter the delighted Mahādeva, the suppressor of the Cupid and of Andhaka, blessed the son of Śakti and vanished there itself.
