Translation

Neither Brahmā nor his sons, headed by Rudra, nor any of the great sages who are masters of the Vedic mantras can understand the function of Your mystic power. Because Your illusory potency has covered their sight, they remain ignorant of how Your mystic power works. Therefore, what can I, such a low-born person, possibly say?

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Neither Brahmā nor his sons, headed by Rudra, nor any of the great sages who are masters of the Vedic mantras can understand the workings of your mystic power, because your illusory potency has covered their sight. Therefore, how can I, such a low-born person, say immediately what has happened? Girāṁ patayaḥ means the seers of the Vedas. Even they do not know about this, which is produced by your māyā. How can I, of low birth, say immediately what has happened?
