समाधाय मनो यत्नात्समाधिन्दुःखनाशिनम ॥ चकार च ददर्शासौ स्वरूपं निजमव्ययम् ॥११॥
He (Shiva), with great effort, concentrated his mind and entered into samādhi, the deep meditative state that destroys sorrow. In that state, he beheld his own eternal, unchanging true form.
english translation
इत्थं चिरतरं स्थाणुस्तस्थौ ध्वस्तगुणत्रयः ॥ निर्विकारी परम्ब्रह्म मायाधीशस्स्वयंप्रभुः ॥ १२ ॥
Thus Śiva remained for a long time eliminating the three attributes, and unaffected by aberrations. The lord Himself, the controller of illusion remained in the state of the Supreme Brahman.

ततस्समाधिन्तत्त्याज व्यतीय ह्यमितास्समाः ॥ यदा तदा बभूवाशु चरितं तद्वदामि वः ॥१३॥
Then He gave up trance. Many years elapsed. What happened thereafter, I shall now recount to you.
english translation
प्रभोर्ललाटदेशात्तु यत्पृषच्छ्रमसंभवम् ॥ पपात धरणौ तत्र स बभूव शिशुर्द्रुतम् ॥ १४ ॥
The drops of sweat caused by exhaustion fell on the Earth from the lord’s forehead and took the shape of a child immediately.

समाधाय मनो यत्नात्समाधिन्दुःखनाशिनम ॥ चकार च ददर्शासौ स्वरूपं निजमव्ययम् ॥११॥
O sage, the child was tawny-coloured and had four arms. He was comely in features. His brilliance was supermundane and unbearable to others.
