After everything was executed exactly as directed by Lord Śiva, Dakṣa’s body was joined to the head of the animal meant to be killed in the sacrifice.

This time, all the demigods and great sages were very careful not to irritate Lord Śiva. Therefore whatever he asked was done. It is specifically said here that Dakṣa’s body was joined to the head of an animal (a goat).

Translation
Doing as Śiva said, they joined the head of the sacrificial goat with the body of Dakṣa. They did what Śiva said. This implies they also gave the eyes of Mitra to Bhaga, and carried out the recovery all persons. Kasya means “of Dakṣa.”
