Śrī Maitreya said: Thus Lord Brahmā, who is understood by transcendental vibration, tried to satisfy the demigods, being pleased with their words of prayer.
Purport
Brahmā could understand the misdeeds of Diti, and therefore he smiled at the whole situation. He replied to the demigods present there in words they could understand.

Translation
Maitreya said: O mighty armed Vidura! Powerful Brahmā, the object of the devatās’ praises, smiling, replied to the devatās, pleasing them with sweet words.
Oh! The ignorant praise me. I am useless to deliver them from this difficulty. He smiled,just as an elder smiles at small children. Śābda-gocara means that Brahmā was the object of the prayers of the devatās.
