एतद्विचार्य वक्तव्यं तत्त्वतो हि यथातथम् ॥ प्रकृत्या सर्वमेतच्च बद्धमस्ति निरंतरम् ॥ ११ ॥
You shall ponder over this and say with reference to the facts as they are. All these (the universe etc) are bound by Prakṛti continuously.
english translation
तस्मात्त्वया न वक्तव्यं न कार्यं किंचिदेव हि ॥ वचनं रचनं सर्वं प्राकृतं विद्धि चेतसा ॥ १२ ॥
Hence you shall not say anything, not do anything. Know that speaking, doing etc. is a Prākṛta activity.
english translation
यच्छृणोषि यदश्नासि यत्पश्यसि करोषि यत् ॥ तत्सर्वं प्रकृतेः कार्यं मिथ्यावादो निरर्थकः ॥ १३ ॥
What you hear, what you eat, what you see and what you do—all these are (essentially) the activities of Prakṛti. To say that it is unreal is meaningless.
english translation
प्रकृतेः परमश्चेत्त्वं किमर्थं तप्यसे तपः ॥ त्वया शंभोऽधुना ह्यस्मिन्गिरौ हिमवति प्रभो ॥ १४ ॥
O lord, if you are greater than Prakṛti, wherefore do you perform penance, O Śiva, now, on this mountain Himavat.
english translation
प्रकृत्या गिलितोऽसि त्वं न जानासि निजं हर ॥ निजं जानासि चेदीश किमर्थं तप्यसे तपः ॥ १५ ॥
O Śiva, you have been swallowed by Prakṛti, you do not know your own situation. O lord, if you do not know your own situation why do you perform penance?
