Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: O Vidura! Pleased by the request made by Brahmā, Śiva, smiling said, “Listen to me.” In the Seventh Chapter, Dakṣa and the priests glorify Śiva, and Viṣṇu appears and becomes satisfied. The sacrifice is completed. Śiva (bhavena) was pleased by Brahma (ajena) who had made his request (anunītena).
