2.328

[Disgust arises] from seeing what is unappealing, as in:
“Dragging from the vast funeral pyres the corpses of the dead, whose bones sweat from the intense heat, whose fat melts as it boils, and which are still wrapped in smoke,
these corpse-eaters suck the shanks, freed nearby from their joints that tremble with overcooked, slipping flesh, and drink the streams of marrow issuing in abundance.”

2.328.p1

(Mālatīmādhava 5.17)

2.328.p2

Here, Mādhava’s disgust toward the piśācas, produced by their sucking of shanks, drinking streams of marrow, and so forth, is revealed through his reproach: “these corpse-eaters.”
