महत्यां मोहयामिन्यामुल्बणोऽज्ञानकौशिकः ।
श्मशान इव वेतालः परिवल्गति हृद्द्रुमे ॥ १३ ॥

mahatyāṃ mohayāminyāmulbaṇo'jñānakauśikaḥ |
śmaśāna iva vetālaḥ parivalgati hṛddrume || 13 ||

During the long and gloomy nights of our ignorance we are disturbed by the fits of phrenzy, bursting as the hooting owl from the hollow of our hearts; and infested by the passions barking in our bosoms like the Vetala demons in the charnel vaults and funeral grounds.
