tad ugra-vegam disi disy upary adho

 visarpad utsarpad asahyam aprati

bhitah praja dudruvur anga sesvara

 araksyamanah saranam sadasivam

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

O King, when that uncontrollable poison was forcefully spreading up and down in all directions, all the demigods, along with the Lord Himself, approached Lord Siva [Sadasiva]. Feeling unsheltered and very much afraid, they sought shelter of him.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

One may question that since the Supreme Personality of Godhead was personally present, why did He accompany all the demigods and people in general to take shelter of Lord Sadasiva instead of intervening Himself. In this connection Srila Madhvacarya warns:

 

rudrasya yasaso ’rthaya

 svayam visnur visam vibhuh

na sañjahre samartho ’pi

 vayum coce prasantaye

 

Lord Visnu was competent to rectify the situation, but in order to give credit to Lord Siva, who later drank all the poison and kept it in his neck, Lord Visnu did not take action.
