Lord Brahmā also advised them that Lord Śiva is so powerful that by his anger all the planets and their chief controllers can be destroyed immediately. Also, he said that Lord Śiva was especially sorry because he had recently lost his dear wife and was also very much afflicted by the unkind words of Dakṣa. Under the circumstances, Lord Brahmā suggested, it would behoove them to go at once and beg his pardon.

आशासाना जीवितमध्वरस्य लोकः सपालः कुपिते न यस्मिन् । तमाशु देवं प्रियया विहीनं क्षमापयध्वं हृदि विद्धं दुरुक्तैः
āśāsānā jīvitamadhvarasya lokaḥ sapālaḥ kupite na yasmin | tamāśu devaṃ priyayā vihīnaṃ kṣamāpayadhvaṃ hṛdi viddhaṃ duruktaiḥ
