कृत्वा प्रणामं विधये मह्यं गद्गदया गिरा ॥ उवाच मदनो मां चोदासीनो विमदो मुने ॥६॥

काम उवाच ॥ ब्रह्मन् शंभुर्मोहनीयो न वै योगपरायणः ॥ न शक्तिर्मम नान्यस्य तस्य शंभोर्हि मोहने ॥ ७ ॥
Kāma said: O Brahmā, Śiva, an expert in Yogic practices cannot be charmed. Neither I nor anyone else has the power to enchant Siva.

O Brahmā, different tricks were tried by me and my friends as well as by Rati. All those became futile in regard to Śiva.

O Brahmā, listen to the different kinds of efforts undertaken by us in trying to enchant Him and the manner we did them I shall explain, O sage.
