whose activities are unknown to everyone.
O greatest of all rulers, your actual identity is impossible for us to understand. As far as we can see, your presence brings flourishing happiness to everyone. Beyond this, no one can appreciate your activities. We can see this much, and nothing more.
Purport
When the demigods offered these prayers to Lord Śiva, their inner purpose was to please him so that he would rectify the disturbing situation created by the hālahala poison. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (7.20) , kāmais tais tair hṛta jṣānāḥ prapadyante ’nya-devatāḥ: when one worships demigods, this is certainly because of deep-rooted desires he wants fulfilled by the mercy of those demigods. People are generally attached to the worship of demigods for some motive.

Translation
O great lord! We do not understand your superior form. We only know that you, whose activities are hard to understand, make your appearance for the happiness of the people.
You appear in order to make people happy. You should make the people happy by destroying the poison.
