tasmin mahāyogamaye mumukṣu-śaraṇe surāḥ dadṛśuḥ śivam āsīnam tyaktāmarṣam ivāntakam
tasmin —under that tree;  mahāyogamaye —having many sages engaged in meditation on the Supreme;  mumukṣu —of those who desire liberation;  śaraṇe —the shelter;  surāḥ —the demigods;  dadṛśuḥ —saw;  śivam —Lord Śiva;  āsīnam —seated;  tyakta-amarṣam —having given up anger;  iva —as;  antakam —eternal time.
TRANSLATION
The demigods saw Lord Śiva sitting under that tree, which was competent to give perfection to mystic  yogīs  and deliver all people. As grave as time eternal, he appeared to have given up all anger.
PURPORT
In this verse the word  mahā-yoga-maye  is very significant.  Yoga  means meditation on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and  mahā-yoga  means those who engage in the devotional service of Viṣṇu. Meditation means remembering,  smaraṇam . There are nine different kinds of devotional service, of which  smaraṇam  is one process; the  yogī  remembers the form of Viṣṇu within his heart. Thus there were many devotees engaged in meditation on Lord Viṣṇu under the big banyan tree.
The Sanskrit word  mahā  is derived from the affix  mahat . This affix is used when there is a great number or quantity, so  mahā-yoga  indicates that there were many great  yogīs  and devotees meditating on the form of Lord Viṣṇu. Generally such meditators are desirous of liberation from material bondage, and they are promoted to the spiritual world to one of the Vaikuṇṭhas. Liberation means freedom from material bondage or nescience. In the material world we are suffering life after life because of our bodily identification, and liberation is freedom from that miserable condition of life.
