brahmādibhiḥ surai rājann ṛṣibhiś ca tapodhanaiḥ | vijñapto vai mahādeva ṛṣer atha narādhipa ||
グーラスティヤは言った。「王よ、人々の主よ。その時、梵天をはじめ諸神と、苦行に富む仙人たちは、あの聖者の件について、大自在天マハーデーヴァに正式に嘆願したのである。」

Educational Q&A
Even gods and great ascetics uphold dharma through humility and proper procedure: when a matter concerns a sage and the balance of conduct, they approach Mahādeva respectfully rather than acting rashly.
The speaker reports that Brahmā, other deities, and austerity-rich ṛṣis collectively submit a petition to Mahādeva regarding a particular sage, setting up Śiva’s response or intervention in the ensuing episode.
