सभया मूढदृष्टाश्च यत्किंचनकराश्चलाः ।
दीना वज्रासिनः क्रूरा दीना ग्राम्यजना इव ॥ १६ ॥

sabhayā mūḍhadṛṣṭāśca yatkiṃcanakarāścalāḥ |
dīnā vajrāsinaḥ krūrā dīnā grāmyajanā iva || 16 ||

They were terrific and like idiots in their looks, and moved about with bones and skulls in their hands. They were as meagre as churls, but more cruel than either the sword or thunderbolt.
