The praise is finished, and the verse tells two things more: what else was asked and what came after.
The second petition is aiśvarya, “lordship”. This word stood in the fifth verse of the first Upaniṣad: “lordship — from worshipping Him”. The gods ask precisely what was there named the fruit of worship.
And the third — “the destruction of the foe”. The petition is blunt, and the book does not soften it. The celestials came not for contemplation: their kingdom has been taken, and they want it back.
But the scene's end matters more than the petitions: tena sārdhaṁ sukhaṁ sthitāḥ — “they abode with Him in happiness”. Not “they received what they asked and dispersed”. They stayed with Him.
Here the book speaks its own word. They asked for power and victory; they received presence — and were stilled in it. The same distinction the Gopāla-tāpanī makes, where the mantra grants all that is asked, while bhakti is defined as the mind's striving without hopes of gain.
The next verse will leave the gods and begin the tale of how the asked-for came true: thirteen verses of the Rāmāyaṇa in a row.
