English translation:

(117-118) “O Lord, who does not become bewildered by Your illusory energy, which bewilders even the best of the great yogis? So it is not at all astonishing that You have bewildered me. Now please bestow on me loving devotional service at Your feet.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Kena Upaniṣad (1.5) it is stated:

yan manasā na manute yenāhur mano matam

tad eva brahma tvaṃ viddhi nedaṃ yad idam upāsate

“That which the mind cannot know, through which the mind is considered known—know that to be the Supreme, not what this world reveres.” In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (1.1.1) it is stated: muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ—“By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion.” Also see Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (1.3.37, 6.3.14-15, 7.5.13, 10.14.21, 9.4.56, 11.7.17,

and 11.29.40).
