तस्यासौ पदवीं रुद्रो विष्णोरद्भुतकर्मणः ।
प्रत्यपद्यत कामेन वैरिणेव विनिर्जितः ॥ ३१ ॥
tasya-of He who is the Supreme Lord; asau-Lord Siva; padavim-the place; rudrah-Lord Siva; visnoh-of Lord Visnu; adbhuta-karmanah-of He who acts very wonderfully; pratyapadyata-began to follow; kamena-by lusty desire; vairina iva-as if by an enemy; vinirjitah-being harassed.
As if harassed by an enemy in the form of lusty desires, Lord
Siva followed the path of Lord
Visnu, who acts very wonderfully and who had taken the form of
Mohini.
Lord
Siva cannot be victimized by
maya. Therefore it is to be understood that Lord Siva was being thus harassed by Lord
Visnu's internal potency. Lord Visnu can perform many wonderful activities through His various potencies.
The Supreme Lord has various potencies, by which He can act very efficiently. To do anything expertly, He doesn't even need to contemplate. Since Lord
Siva was being harassed by the woman, it is to be understood that this was being done not by a woman but by Lord
Visnu Himself.
