vayam - we; ca - and; tatra - within that material creation; bhagavan - O Supreme Personality of Godhead; sarpÄḥ - serpents; jÄti - by species; uru-manyavaḥ - too much absorbed in anger; katham - how; tyajÄmaḥ - we can give up; tvat-mÄyÄm - Your illusory potency; dustyajÄm - which is impossible to give up; mohitÄḥ - bewildered; svayam - on our own.
O Supreme Personality of Godhead, among all the species within Your material creation, we serpents are by nature always enraged. Being thus deluded by Your illusory energy, which is very difficult to give up, how can we possibly give it up on our own?
KÄliya is here indirectly begging for the Lord’s mercy, realizing that on his own he can never become free from illusion and suffering. Only by surrendering to the Lord and obtaining His mercy can one be released from the painful conditions of material life.
