50.39

sa sarvān khādituṃ sṛṣṭo brahmaṇā tamaso nidhiḥ /
daṃṣṭrākarālamatyarthaṃ vivṛtāsyaṃ subhairavam //

And another[16] famed by his name Duḥsaha[17] resides in men’s houses; he is wasted with hunger, his face is downwards bent; he is naked, clothed in rags, and his voice is as hoarse as a crow’s. He was created by Brahmā to eat all beings. Him, exceedingly terrific by reason of his long teeth, open-mouthed, very terrible, and ravenous in mind, him thus addressed Brahmā, the store-house of austerities,[18] the forefather of the worlds, he who is entirely consubstantial with Brahma, the pure, the cause of the universe, the changeless.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
