क्रोधाद्य्-अस्थानेऽपि यत्र क्रोधाद्य्-अनुकृतिस् तत्रास्थानसमासत्वं गुणः. यथा,

tanvī-viraha-khinnāya kupyan me pañca-sāyakaḥ |
ugrākṣi-jvalana-jvāla-pluṣṭo bhūyād ahar-niśam ||
tanvī—from the slender girl; viraha—by separation; khinnāya—whom am afflicted; kupyan—being angry; me—at Me; pañca-sāyakaḥ—Cupid (“he has five arrows”); ugra—of Ugra (Śiva); akṣi—from the eye (the third eye); jvalana—blazing; jvāla—by the fire; pluṣṭaḥ—scorched; bhūyāt—may he become; ahaḥ-niśam—day and night.
Cupid is angry at Me. I am afflicted in separation from the slender girl. May he become scorched day and night by the blazing fire from Śiva’s eye.
