Lord Śiva cannot be victimized by māyā. Therefore it is to be understood that Lord Śiva was being thus harassed by Lord Viṣṇu’s internal potency. Lord Viṣṇu can perform many wonderful activities through His various potencies.

(Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8)

The Supreme Lord has various potencies, by which He can act very efficiently. To do anything expertly, He doesn’t even need to contemplate. Since Lord Śiva was being harassed by the woman, it is to be understood that this was being done not by a woman but by Lord Viṣṇu Himself.

El Señor Supremo tiene diversas potencias, mediante las cuales puede actuar con gran eficacia. Para hacer algo de modo perfecto, ni siquiera tiene que reflexionar. Debemos entender que las grandes angustias que aquella mujer estaba causando al Señor Śiva no eran obra de una mujer, sino del propio Señor Viṣṇu.
