The gods including Indra, Viṣṇu and others became silent and bewildered on seeing the excessively brilliant Siva.

On merely seeing the terrible form of Śiva, dazzling the ten quarters, resembling countless suns in refulgence and on a par with the fire at the hour of dissolution.

भयाद्देवं निरीक्ष्यैव देवीं च हिमवत्सुताम्॥ बिभ्यिरे निखिला देवप्रमुखा स्तस्थुरानताः ॥ ८ ॥

Also the goddess Pārvatī, the daughter of Himavat, the illustrious gods stood humbly in their fright.

दृष्ट्वानीकं तदा भीतं देवानामृषिपुंगवाः ॥ न किंचिदूचुस्संतस्थुः प्रणेमुस्ते समंततः ॥ ९ ॥

On seeing the army of the gods terrified, the excellent sages did not say anything. They stood all round and bowed.

अथ ब्रह्मापि संभीतो दृष्ट्वा रूपं च शांकरम् ॥ तुष्टाव तुष्टहृदयो देवैस्सह समाहितः ॥ 2-5-11-१० ॥

Then Brahmā too who was excessively afraid on seeing Śiva’s terrible form, was delighted at heart and fervently prayed along with the gods.
