ब्रह्मादिभि: सुरै राजन्नषिभिश्व॒ तपोधनै:,राजन! नरेश्वर! तब ब्रह्मा आदि देवताओं तथा तपोधन महर्षियोंने ऋषिके विषयमें महादेवजीसे निवेदन किया--'देव! आप ऐसा कोई उपाय करें, जिससे ये मुनि नृत्य न करें

Vaiśampāyana disse: “Ó rei, Brahmā e os demais deuses, juntamente com os grandes ṛṣis ricos em tapas, aproximaram-se de Mahādeva a respeito daquele sábio e apresentaram um pedido: ‘Ó Senhor, concebe algum meio para que estes ascetas cessem de dançar.’”

Educational Q&A
Even spiritually powerful beings and practices should be governed by restraint and appropriateness; when conduct becomes disruptive or excessive, wise intervention and a proper means (upāya) are sought to restore order.
Brahmā and other gods, along with austere sages, approach Mahādeva (Śiva) and request that he find a way to stop certain munis from dancing, indicating concern that their behavior is improper or destabilizing.
