अन्यच्छृणुत हे विष्णो हे विधे मुनयः सुराः ॥ महाप्रभोर्महेशस्य लीलां भुवनपालिनीम् ॥ ३६ ॥

Hear further, O Viṣṇu, O Brahmā, O sages and O gods, the divine sports of the supreme lord Śiva, that protect the universe.

english translation

विधाय मालां सुप्रीत्या ममास्थ्नां विरहाकुलः ॥ न शान्तिं प्राप कुत्रापि प्रबुद्धो ऽप्येक एव सः ॥ ३७ ॥

Oppressed by the pangs of bereavement He wreathed a garland of my bones. Although He is the sole enlightened god He did not get peace anywhere.

english translation

इतस्ततो रुरोदोच्चैरनीश इव स प्रभुः ॥ योग्यायोग्यं न बुबुधे भ्रमन्सर्वत्र सर्वदा ॥३८॥

Like a non-god, like a helpless creature he roamed about here and there and cried aloud. The lord Himself could not distinguish between the proper and the improper.

english translation

इत्थं लीलां हरोऽकार्षीद्दर्शयन्कामिनां प्रभुः ॥ ऊचे कामुकवद्वाणीं विरहव्याकुलामिव ॥३९॥

The lord Śiva did this just to show the behaviour of a love-lorn lover. He blabbered like a lover in despair due to separation.

english translation

वस्तुतोऽविकृतोऽदीनोऽस्त्यजितः परमेश्वरः ॥ परिपूर्णः शिवः स्वामी मायाधीशोऽखिलेश्वरः ॥ 2-3-4-४० ॥

But really the supreme lord has no aberrations, is not distressed and remains unconquered. My master Śiva is perfect, lord of all and the controller of illusion.
