Translation: 

 

The Siva-jvara, overwhelmed by the strength of the Visnu-jvara, cried out in pain. But finding no refuge, the frightened Siva-jvara approached Lord Krsna, 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 Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti, it is significant that the Siva-jvara had to leave the side of his master, Lord Siva, and directly take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krsna.
