CHAPTER 18
The pray of few hard words
(a lanar10T )
.
Oh Lord of the three cornered world! You who know the speaker's (1.e. also wine) mind very well, so to a such a Lord, I must not only say soft and good things, but should also say a few harsh words for the speakers (1.e. also mdine) purification of his inner self.
Oh Lord! You (unlike other devas) do not ride upon birds, animals, like Lion etc. Your eyes, mouth and body etc. do not show any unhealthy attitude (from a moral point of view i cratia ), and, therefore there is nothing improper in your shape and personality.
Oh Lord to whom the whole world bows! In your hands (unlike other Devas) there 1s neither the three pronged fork (ISTRIOT ), nor the bow, or the discuss and similar other weapons. You are not at all inclined to
warmly embrace the soft body of a woman.
on Master! By doing that which is looked down upon, you have not (unlike other Cods) made some very good
men frightened. By anger or by getting pleased etc. you have not caused much distress to me and other
Devas.
