> मैत्रेय उवाच\
> स प्रहस्य महाबाहो भगवान्शब्दगोचरः ।\
> प्रत्याचष्टात्मभूर्देवान्प्रीणन्रुचिरया गिरा ॥११॥

> maitreya uvāca\
> sa prahasya mahā-bāho\
> bhagavān śabda-gocaraḥ\
> pratyācaṣṭātma-bhūr devān\
> prīṇan rucirayā girā

*maitreyaḥ uvāca*—Maitreya said; *saḥ*—he; *prahasya*—smiling; *mahā-bāho*—O mighty-armed (Vidura); *bhagavān*—the possessor of all opulences; *śabda-gocaraḥ*—who is understood by transcendental sound vibration; *pratyācaṣṭa*—replied; *ātma-bhūḥ*—Lord Brahmā; *devān*—the demigods; *prīṇan*—satisfying; *rucirayā*—with sweet; *girā*—words.

**Śrī Maitreya said: Thus Lord Brahmā, who is understood by transcendental vibration, tried to satisfy the demigods, being pleased with their words of prayer.**

Brahmā could understand the misdeeds of Diti, and therefore he smiled at the whole situation. He replied to the demigods present there in words they could understand.
