Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Taking permission of Diti, who was satisfied by his good behavior, Indra offered his respects to her and left for the heavenly planets with his brothers the Maruts.
Diti, satisfied by Indra's good behavior, accepted his obeisances; Indra returned to heaven with his Marut brothers. Reconciled enemies can travel together.
