सुप्तं मेदःसु शुभ्रेषु शेषाङ्गेष्विव शौरिणा ।
स्वादितश्चाङ्गगन्धोऽन्तः पीतशक्त्यामृतं यथा ॥ १६ ॥

suptaṃ medaḥsu śubhreṣu śeṣāṅgeṣviva śauriṇā |
svāditaścāṅgagandho'ntaḥ pītaśaktyāmṛtaṃ yathā || 16 ||

She rests in the milk white mass of flesh, as Vishnu reclines on his bed of the serpent Vasuki; she tastes the flavour of the blood of all hearts, as the goddess (Kali) drinks the liquor of her goblet of wine.
