Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: In this way, the most powerful Śukrācārya, joyfully executing the order of the Lord along with the best brāhmaṇas, compensated for the discrepancies and completed the sacrifice performed by Bali Mahārāja.
Samādhatta means reconciled and completed. Another version has samādhāya. He executed the order. This verb should be supplied.

Personal Guidance
Śukrācārya accepted the Lord's order with full respect and began, with the brāhmaṇas, to compensate for Bali's discrepancies. The cursing guru becomes the corrective party. The same hand that bound also repairs.
Reflection Questions
- Where could a former opponent of mine be exactly the right partner to repair what they once damaged?
- Have I let a 'curser' in my life become a 'corrector,' or have I refused the second posture from them?
