सर्वेयं शिवलीला हि बहुलीलाकरः प्रभुः ॥ स्वतंत्रो निर्विकारी च सती सापि हि तद्विधा ॥ १६ ॥
Everything is a sport of Śiva. The lord indulges in many divine sports. He is independent and undecaying. Satī too is like that.
english translation
अन्यथा कस्समर्थो हि तत्कर्मकरणे मुने ॥ परमात्मा परब्रह्म स एव परमेश्वरः ॥ १७ ॥
O sage, how can anyone else be capable of carrying out such divine acts? The Supreme Soul, the Supreme Brahman, He alone is the Supreme Lord.
english translation
यं सदा भजते श्रीशोऽहं चापि सकलाः सुराः ॥ मुनयश्च महात्मानः सिद्धाश्च सनकादयः ॥ १८ ॥
He, whom all the gods, sages, and great souls like Sanaka and others, along with the perfected ones (Siddhas), worship at all times — I too, along with them, always worship.
english translation
शेषस्सदा यशो यस्य मुदा गायति नित्यशः ॥ पारं न लभते तात स प्रभुश्शंकरः शिवः ॥ १९ ॥
O dear one, Śiva is that lord whose glory is sung for ever by Śeṣa with great pleasure but is never exhausted.
english translation
तस्यैव लीलया सर्वोयमिति तत्त्वविभ्रमः ॥ तत्र दोषो न कस्यापि सर्वव्यापी स प्रेरकः ॥ 2-2-24-२० ॥
The erroneous perception of this visible world is due to His own sports. There none can be blamed. The all-pervasive lord is the inducer.
