Having said these words, the Rishi Vasishtha who was very wrathful, yielded to that passion and addressing me once more, said Be thou an animal shorn of intelligence, subject to grief, ever filled with fear, and an inhabitant of trackless forests destitute of both wind and water and abandoned by other animals. Do you thus pass ten thousand years with ten and eight hundred years in addition.
एवमुक्त्वा महाक्रोधः प्राह शम्भुं पुनर्वचः। प्रज्ञया रहितो दुःखी नित्यभीतो वनेचरः॥ दशवर्षसहस्राणि दशाष्टौ च शतानि च। नष्टपानीयपवने मृगैरन्यैश्च वर्जिते॥
