अयोग्यानां च कारुण्याद्भक्तानां परमेश्वरः ॥ प्रसीदति न संदेहो विगृह्य विविधान्मलान् ॥ २६ ॥
The merciful lord quells different dirts of his devotees though they may be unqualified. He is pleased with their devotion.
english translation
प्रसदादेव सा भक्तिः प्रसादो भक्तिसंभवः ॥ अवस्थाभेदमुत्प्रेक्ष्य विद्वांस्तत्र न मुह्यति ॥ २७ ॥
Their devotion is due to their grace and the grace is a result of devotion in view of the difference in states. A learned man is not deluded therein.

प्रसादपूर्विका येयं भुक्तिमुक्तिविधायिनी ॥ नैव सा शक्यते प्राप्तुं नरैरेकेन जन्मना ॥ २८ ॥
This devotion with grace as its antecedent and causing worldly pleasures and salvation cannot be acquired in a single birth.
english translation
अनेकजन्मसिद्धानां श्रौतस्मार्तानुवर्तिनाम् ॥ विरक्तानां प्रबुद्धानां प्रसीदति महेश्वरः ॥ २९ ॥
Maheśvara is delighted with enlightened people not attached to worldly pleasures who follow the rules prescribed in Śrutis and Smṛtis and who achieve Siddhis in the course of several births.
english translation
प्रसन्ने सति देवेश पशौ तस्मिन्प्रवर्तते ॥ अस्ति नाथो ममेत्यल्पा भक्तिर्बुद्धिपुरस्सरा ॥ ३० ॥
O Lord of the demigods, when the animal is pleased with the living entity, it is engaged in it. There is little devotion to the intellect that there is a master for me.
