Translation
As if in defamation, the poison born from the Ocean of Milk manifested its potency by marking Lord Śiva’s neck with a bluish line. That line, however, is now accepted as an ornament of the Lord.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The poison manifested its potency in Śiva. The blue line that the poison made on Lord Śiva's neck is now accepted as an ornament of Śiva.
Jala-kalmaṣaḥ means the poison. The poison showed its potency even in Śiva (tasyāpi).
