vedhā vedanayā 'viṣṭo, govindo 'pi gadādharaḥ,
śubhaḥ śūlī viṣādī ca, devaṃ keno 'pamīmahe? || 5 ||

5. Brahmā is tormented with pain [punningly: ‘is filled with knowledge’]; Viṣṇu has a sore lip [‘carries a club’]; Çiva has colic and is subject to despair [‘carries a dart and swallows poison’]; with whom shall we compare the king?”
