Translation
Upon seeing the action of Vīrabhadra, the party of Lord Śiva was pleased and cried out joyfully, and all the bhūtas, ghosts and demons that had come made a tumultuous sound. On the other hand, the brāhmaṇas in charge of the sacrifice cried out in grief at the death of Dakṣa.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Seeing Vīrabhadra’s action, the ghosts and demons expressed their satisfaction, while others expressed grief.
Others, brāhmaṇas, said the opposite: it was an improper action.
