4.2.14

pretāvāseṣu ghoreṣu pretair bhūta-gaṇair vṛtaḥ /
aṭaty unmattavan nagno vyupta-keśo hasan rudan //

14—16. Dwelling in the horrible abodes of ghosts, surrounded by spirits and demons, he wanders about like a mad man in nakedness with dishevelled hair, laughing and weeping; bathed in the ashes of the cremation ground, wearing the wreaths of flowers on dead bodies and having pieces of bone for his ornaments, he (only) bears the name of Śiva (the auspicious), but he is inauspicious; he is intoxicated and beloved by those who are intoxicated; he is the Lord of the devilish spirits called the Pramathas who are personifications of mere darkness (whose nature is simple darkness); and to such a person the prince of Unmādas (a class of devilish spirits), destitute of piety and possessed of a wicked heart, I am sorry, I have given my virtuous daughter at the instance of Parameshṭhin (Brahma). [N.B.—The passage thus apparently conveying a censure of Śiva bears also another interpretation as his praise.]
