स सिद्धमुनिसंघैश्च बोधितोऽस्माभिरादरात् ॥ न बुध्यते हरिस्सोथ तव मायाविमोहितः ॥ ११ ॥

Although advised and consoled by the Siddhas and sages, and pacified by us with respect, Viṣṇu deluded by your illusion does not come to his former self.

english translation

कृपां कुरु महेशान विष्णुं बोधय बोधय ॥ त्वदधीनमिदं सर्वं प्राकृतं सचराचरम् ॥ १२ ॥

O lord Śiva, be pleased. Restore Viṣṇu to his former self. This entire creation born of Prakṛti and consisting of the mobile and immobile beings, is subservient to you.

english translation

सनत्कुमार उवाच ॥ इत्याकर्ण्य महेशो हि वचनं त्रिदिवौकसाम् ॥ प्रत्युवाच महालीलस्स्वच्छन्दस्तान्कृतांजलीन् ॥ १३ ॥

Sanatkumāra said: On hearing these words of the gods, lord Śiva of great sports and free to act as he pleases replied to them as they stood with palms joined in reverence.

english translation

महेश उवाच ॥ हे ब्रह्मन्हे सुरास्सर्वे मद्वाक्यं शृणुतादरात् ॥ मोहिनी सर्वलोकानां मम माया दुरत्यया ॥१४॥

Lord Śiva said: O Brahmā, O gods, you listen to my words attentively. My illusion deludes all the worlds. It cannot be transgressed.

english translation

तदधीनं जगत्सर्वं यद्देवासुरमानुषम् ॥ तयैव मोहितो विष्णुः कामाधीनोऽभवद्धरिः ॥ १५ ॥

The entire universe including gods and human beings is subservient to it. Viṣṇu too was deluded by that illusion and became a prey to the lustful love.
