nābhāgaḥ - Nābhāga; tam - unto him (Lord Śiva); praṇamya - offering obeisances; āha - said; tava - yours; īśa - O lord; kila - certainly; vāstukam - everything in the arena of sacrifice; iti - thus; āha - said; me - my; pitā - father; brahman - O brāhmaṇa; śirasā - bowing my head; tvām - unto you; prasādaye - I am begging your mercy.

Thereupon, after offering obeisances to Lord Śiva, Nābhāga said: O worshipable lord, everything in this arena of sacrifice is yours. This is the assertion of my father. Now, with great respect, I bow my head before you, begging your mercy.
