शिवोपि दुःखमापन्नो लौकिकीं गतिमाश्रितः ॥ मोहयन्सकलांस्तत्र नानालीलाविशारदः ॥२१॥

Even Śiva who is an expert in different sports and is deluding us all, seems distressed like an ordinary man.

english translation

सर्वेषां चैव देवानां कटिर्भग्ना यदा तदा ॥ शिवा क्रोधमयी साक्षाद्गंतुं न पुर उत्सहेत् ॥। २२ ॥

When the hips of all the gods are broken and Pārvatī is fiery in rage, none of them dare stand before her.

english translation

स्वीयो वा परकीयो वा देवो वा दानवोपि वा ॥ गणो वापि च दिक्पालो यक्षो वा किन्नरो मुनिः ॥ २३ ॥

Whether a person belonging to her or to others, whether a god, a demon, a Gaṇa, a guardian of the quarters, a Yakṣa, a Kinnara, a Sage, Brahmā, Viṣṇu or even lord Śiva himself, none could stand before Śiva.

english translation

विष्णुर्वापि तथा ब्रह्मा शंकरश्च तथा प्रभुः ॥ न कश्चिद्गिरिजाग्रे च स्थातुं शक्तोऽभवन्मुने ॥२४॥

Neither Viṣṇu, nor Brahmā, nor even the mighty Śaṅkara himself, O Sage, was able to stand before Girijā (Pārvatī).

english translation

जाज्वल्यमानं तत्तेजस्सर्वतोदाहि तेऽखिलाः ॥ दृष्ट्वा भीततरा आसन् सर्वे दूरतरं स्थिताः ॥२५॥

On seeing her dazzling brilliance, burning all round, all of them were frightened and they stayed far away.
