Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 31a:

इह स्थाने चित्तं निरवधि निधायात्तपवनो यदि क्रुद्धो योगी चलयति समस्तं त्रिभुवनं ।
न च ब्रह्मा विष्णुर् न च हरिहरो नैव खमनीस्तदीयं सामर्थ्यं शमयितुमलं नापि गणपः ॥ ३१-१ ॥

iha sthāne cittaṃ niravadhi nidhāyāttapavano yadi kruddho yogī calayati samastaṃ tribhuvanaṃ |
na ca brahmā viṣṇur na ca hariharo naiva khamanīstadīyaṃ sāmarthyaṃ śamayitumalaṃ nāpi gaṇapaḥ || 31 ||

[Note: This verse has not been taken into account either by Kālīcarṇa or Śaṃkara. It is given by Bala-deva in his text, and his Commentary is also here given. It is in Tripurā-sāra-samuccaya, Ch. v, 26. ]

The Yogī, his mind constantly fixed on this Lotus, his breath controlled by Kuṃbhaka,^[1] is in his wrath^[2] able to move all the three worlds. Neither Brahma nor Viṣṇu, neither Hari-Hara^[3] nor Surya^[4] nor Gaṇapa^[5] is able to control his power (resist him).

Commentary by Śrī-Kālīcaraṇa:

“His breath controlled by Kuṃbhaka” (Ātta-pavana).—Literally it means, who has taken the air in, which is done by Kuṃbhaka.

“Hari-Hara”.—The Yugala (coupled) form, consisting of Viṣṇu and Śiva combined.

“Surya” (Kha-maṇi).—This word means the jewel of the sky, or Surya.

(Here ends the fifth section)
