ityuktaḥ svātmabhūrdevaḥ surairdaityaviceṣṭitam
surānuvāca bhagavāṃs tataḥ smitamukhāmbujaḥ //

The Siddhas the Kinnaras and the Gandharvas sing melodiously in his house without any remuneration He does not give alms to beggars and he does not consider who is high and who is low and thus does not reward merits He is the destroyer of wellwishers and friends and deserts him who seeks shelter under him and is the refuge of him who has abandoned Truth Thus we have described some of his wickedness None can describe fully his misdeeds. Only the Creator knows it in full On hearing such words of the Devas Brahmâ said smilingly—43-46
