155.23
tathā bahu kimuktena alaṃ vācā śrameṇa te
śmaśānavāsān nirbhīs tvaṃ nagnatvānna tava trapā
nirghṛṇatvaṃ kapālitvād dayā te vigatā ciram //
Umâ said —' Pray do not despise other worthies by trying to find fault with them Thou art also full of faults on account of Thy bad company Thy crookedness is derived from Thy contact with serpents Thou art void of affection like Thy ashes Thy heart is more vilified than Moon by Her spot Thou art inferior even to this bull in understanding What is the use of talking more Thou art fearless by living in the cremation ground Thou art shameless, because, Thou art naked Thou dost not dislike disguishing things on account of Thy constantly wearing skulls and mercy has left Thee once for all”—21 23
