4.4.16

kiṃ vā śivākhyam aśivaṃ na vidus tvad anye brahmādayas tam avakīrya jaṭāḥ śmaśāne /
tan-mālya-bhasma-nṛkapāly avasat piśācair ye mūrdhabhir dadhati tac-caraṇāvasṛṣṭam //

16. Do not persons other than thyself (such as) Brahma and others, understand that He who is called Śiva is a-*Śiva* (inauspicious), and, with his matted-hair falling about in disorder, he dwelleth in the burning ground (Śmasāna), along with ghosts and devils, and adorns himself with the flowers, ashes and skulls found lying there;——(Brahma and others) who wear on their heads the flowers (dust) that fall from His feet—(that have become hallowed by the touch of His feet) ?

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
