Śrī Maitreya said: After Lord Viṣṇu was glorified by all present, Dakṣa, his consciousness purified, arranged to begin again the yajṣa which had been devastated by the followers of Lord Śiva.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: O Vidura! After Viṣṇu, the well-wisher of sacrifice, was glorified, the wise Dakṣa restored the sacrifice spoiled by Vīrabhadra. Bhadra can refer to Vidura and can be part of a compound with Rudra. Then it refers to Vīrabhadra who spoiled the sacrifice. Sanninye means “he started the sacrifice.”
