Text

Thus worshiping the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu by the ritualistic performance of sacrifice, Dakṣa was completely situated on the religious path. Moreover, all the demigods who had assembled at the sacrifice blessed him that he might increase his piety, and then they left.

Although Daká¹£a was considerably advanced in religious principles, he awaited the blessings of the demigods. Thus the great sacrifice conducted by Daká¹£a ended in harmony and peace.
