slathad dukulam kabarim ca vicyutam
sannahyatim vama-karena valguna
vinighnatim anya-karena kandukam
vimohayantim jagad-atma-mayaya
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
As She played with the ball, the sari covering Her body became loose, and Her hair scattered. She tried to bind Her hair with Her beautiful left hand, and at the same time She played with the ball by striking it with Her right hand. This was so attractive that the Supreme Lord, by His internal potency, in this way captivated everyone.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
In Bhagavad-gita (7.14) it is said, daivi hy esa guna-mayi mama maya duratyaya: the external potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is extremely strong. Indeed, everyone is fully captivated by her activities. Lord Sambhu (Siva) was not to be captivated by the external potency, but because Lord Visnu wanted to captivate Him also, He exhibited His internal potency to act the way that His external potency acts to captivate ordinary living entities. Lord Visnu can captivate anyone, even such a strong personality as Lord Sambhu.
