TRANSLATION
Thus worshiping the Supreme Lord Visnu by the ritualistic per-
formance of sacrifice, Daksa was completely situated on the religious
path. Besides that, all the demigods who had assembled at the sacrifice
blessed him that he might increase his religiosity, and then they left.

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