हिन्दी अर्थ
भक्षयिष्याम्यहं घोरं कालकूटं महाविषम्। सुरा ब्रह्मादयः सर्वे समाश्वस्ताः सुमानसाः
English
Thou art void of affection like Thy ashes. Thy heart is more vilified than Moon by Her spot. Thou art inferior even to this bull in under- standing. What is the use of talking more. Thou art fearless by living in tho cremation ground. Thori art shameless, because, Thou art naked.. Thou dost not dislike disguishing things on account of Thy constantly wearing skulls and mercy has left Thee once for all." — 21-23.
