TRANSLATION

The material, external energy [maya], who cooperates with Me
in creation and who is manifested in the three modes of nature,
will not be able to bewilder you any longer.

PURPORT

When Lord Siva was present, his wife, Durga, was also there. Durga
works in cooperation with the Supreme Personality of Godhead-in creat-
ing the cosmic manifestation. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (9.10),
mayadhyaksena prakrtih siiyate sacaracaram: “The material energy
[prakrti] works under My direction, O son of Kunti, and is producing all
moving and unmoving beings.” Prakrti is Durga.

chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga

The entire cosmos is created by Durga in cooperation with Lord Visnu in
the form of kala, time. Sa iksata lokdn nu srja. Sa imal lokan asrjata.
This is the version of the Vedas (Aitareya Upanisad 1.1.1- 2). Maya
happens to be the wife of Lord Siva, and thus Lord Siva is in association
with maya, but Lord Visnu here assures Lord Siva that this maya will no
longer be able to captivate him.
