पाह्यनन्यगतीञ्शंभो सुरान्नो देववल्लभ ॥ नष्टप्रायांस्त्रिपुरतो विनिहत्यासुरान्क्षणात् ॥२६॥

O Śiva, dear to the gods, save us, the gods who have no other go, by killing all the Asuras instantaneously. We are practically destroyed by the Tripuras.

english translation

मायया मोहितास्तेऽद्य भवतः परमेश्वर ॥ विष्णुना प्रोक्तयुक्त्या त उज्झिता धर्मतः प्रभो ॥२७॥

O lord Śiva, they are now deluded by your magic. O lord, they have gone astray from the virtuous path through the expedient taught by Viṣṇu.

english translation

संत्यक्तसर्वधर्मांश्च बोद्धागमसमाश्रिताः ॥ अस्मद्भाग्यवशाज्जाता दैत्यास्ते भक्तवत्सल ॥२८॥

O lord, favourably disposed towards your devotees, those Asuras have resorted to Buddha’s religion and philosophy, thanks to our good fortune and hence they have eschewed all Vedic sacred rites.

english translation

सदा त्वं कार्यकर्त्ताहि देवानां शरणप्रद ॥ वयं ते शरणापन्ना यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु ॥ २९ ॥

You have always been the only one carrying out the task of the gods and the bestower of refuge. We have sought refuge in you. Please do as you desire.

english translation

सनत्कुमार उवाच ॥ इति स्तुत्वा महेशानं देवास्तु पुरतः स्थिताः ॥ कृतांजलिपुटा दीना आसन् संनतमूर्तयः ॥ ॥ 2-5-6-३० ॥

Sanatkumāra said: After eulogising lord Śiva thus, the distressed gods stood in front of him with palms joined in reverence and kneeling low.
