क्षुद्रवासनया चेतःक्षुद्रतामपि पेलवाम् ।
पिशाचविभ्रमात्स्वप्ने पिशाचान्निशि पश्यति ॥ ३१ ॥

kṣudravāsanayā cetaḥkṣudratāmapi pelavām |
piśācavibhramātsvapne piśācānniśi paśyati || 31 ||

Inclination to meanness bemeans a man, and a tendency to vileness vilifies his conduct in life; as one deluded by his fancy of devils, comes to see their apparitions in his nightly visions.
