अहं तवान्तरं ज्ञातुमागतस्तव सन्निधिम् ॥ तवाहञ्च मनो जाने तथापि विधिनोदितः ॥ २६ ॥

It was to know your innermost feelings that I approached you. I knew your mind, still I was urged by fate.

english translation

कृतं मे दमनं साध्वि न विरुद्धं यथोचितम् ॥ शास्तिः समुत्पथस्थानामीश्वरेण विनिर्मिता ॥ २७ ॥

Only proper suppression, not the contrary, is carried out by you. Chastisement of those who go astray from the right path is carried out by Śiva Himself.
