चर्विताः खर्वितोष्ठेन द्वीपीपिशितपेशयः ।
नारकाहृतविक्रीता नारक्यो रशना इव ॥ १७ ॥

carvitāḥ kharvitoṣṭhena dvīpīpiśitapeśayaḥ |
nārakāhṛtavikrītā nārakyo raśanā iva || 17 ||

I was bit and scratched by the teeth and nails of my wife, as if my flesh and muscles were torn and gnawed down under the grinders of a tigress; and I was as one caught by or sold to a hellish fiend, and thought myself as changed to an infernal being also.
