मूर्ध्न्यवस्थापितप्राणजटाजूटवलीमिव ॥ ६ ॥

araṇyānyeva dattvārtha ciraṃ jātaśikhāmiva |
mūrdhnyavasthāpitaprāṇajaṭājūṭavalīmiva || 6 ||

She gave up the possession of her forest to other living beings, and lived apart from all in the form of a crest of hair. Her breathings being withdrawn to the cranium, appeared out of it as a tuft of hairs or bushes clapped on her head.
