92 In the centre is the Spotless One, the Lord of the three worlds ;

The five species of musical instruments are clearly heard ; Chauris appear to wave and a shell to reverberate like thunder—

The pious by divine knowledge trample on their evil passions.

Beni beggeth Thy name, O Lord, since the practice of Jog is profitless.

The following was addressed to a hypocritical Brahman :—— Thou rubbest sandal on thy body, and puttest leaves on thy forehead,

But thou hast a murderous knife in thy heart.

Thou lookest on people like a thag, and watchest them like a crane looking for fish.

The life of the Vaishnav when he seeth thee escapeth through his mouth.

Thou bowest daily to the beautiful idol of Vishnu for a long time ;

With the evil eye art thou affected, and at night thou quarrellest ;

Thou ever bathest thy body ;

Thou hast two dhotis, thou ostensibly performest thy religious duties, and livest on milk alone,

But in thy heart thou hast a knife to stab with.

It is thy custom to plunder the property of others.
