My dear King Yudhiṣṭhira, long, long ago in history, a demon known as Maya Dānava, who was very expert in technical knowledge, reduced the reputation of Lord Śiva. In that situation, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, saved Lord Śiva.
Purport

Lord Śiva is known as Mahādeva, the most exalted demigod. Thus Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that although Lord Brahmā did not know the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Śiva could have known them. This historical incident proves that Lord Śiva derives power from Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Parabrahman.

Translation
O King Yudhiṣṭhira! Previously the Lord restored the fame of Śiva, which was ruined by the demon named Maya, who had unlimited powers. “Brahmā may not understand but Śiva definitely can understand.” Actually Śiva’s power is given by the Supreme Lord. To explain this, another story is told.
