Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 24


Sanskrit:

माहेश्वर: समाक्रन्दन् वैष्णवेन बलार्दित: ।अलब्ध्वाभयमन्यत्र भीतो माहेश्वरो ज्वर: ।शरणार्थी हृषीकेशं तुष्टाव प्रयताञ्जलि: ॥ २४ ॥

ITRANS:

māheśvaraḥ samākrandanvaiṣṇavena balārditaḥalabdhvābhayam anyatrabhīto māheśvaro jvaraḥśaraṇārthī hṛṣīkeśaṁtuṣṭāva prayatāñjaliḥ

Translation:

The Śiva-jvara, overwhelmed by the strength of the Viṣṇu-jvara, cried out in pain. But finding no refuge, the frightened Śiva-jvara approached Lord Kṛṣṇa, the master of the senses, hoping to attain His shelter. Thus with joined palms he began to praise the Lord.

Purport:

As pointed out by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, it is significant that the Śiva-jvara had to leave the side of his master, Lord Śiva, and directly take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa.
