________________ आठवाँ अध्ययन : मल्ली ( 349) de appeared to be parted. It was as black as soot, black rat, flock of bumble-bees, heap of Udad (a type of pulse), black buffalo, and rainclouds. Its nails were like spades. Its tongue was like a harrow and lips large. Its molars were white, round sharp, strong, large, irregular shaped and spread apart. Its tongue was split in the middle and both the edges were thin and flexible like two naked fencing swords. Saliva was dropping continuously from this double edged tongue hanging out and lolling rapidly as if ready to consume anything. Its saliva dripping mouth, with deep red palate clearly visible, looked ugly and ominous. This wide open and flame emitting mouth looked like a vermilion filled cave on a black mountain. Its cheeks were hollow and skin stretched. Its nose was small, flat, broken and distorted. Its anger was evident in the harsh and piercing hissing sound coming out of its nostrils. Its face was distorted and awe-inspiring. It had large and fluttering ears. They were raised high and touched the edges of its eyes; they had long and bushy hair on the edges. Its eyes were pale and shining like glow-worms. The permanent frown on its face made a lightning shaped line on its forehead. A garland of skulls hung around its neck. It had wrapped Gonus snakes on its body like an apparel. As an embellishment it had a garland of hissing and slithering creatures including snakes, scorpions, lizards, rats, mongoose, and chameleon. As earrings it had two hissing black cobras with fearful hoods suspended on its ears. Jackals and tomcats were perched on its shoulders. As a crown it had placed a whistling owl on its head. Its laughter was accompanied by an ear shattering and terrifying sound like that of a giant gong. Its body was plastered with obnoxious things like animal fat, blood, pus, flash, and excreta. It terrorized all beings. It had a wide chest. It was wearing a strange tiger-skin that still had nose, mouth, eyes and ears on it. In its raised hands it was holding an elephant skin still drenched in blood and other body fluids. It appeared to be dancing, splitting the sky, thundering and laughing and approaching near. It terrorized the passengers of the ship with its harsh, cruel, ominous, agitating, evil, hateful, and screeching voice.
