तत्कालकोष्णं रुधिरं मातुः स्तनपयो यथा ।
श्मशानसंस्थितान्मत्तो रक्तरक्तान्मलाशिनः ॥ ३३ ॥

tatkālakoṣṇaṃ rudhiraṃ mātuḥ stanapayo yathā |
śmaśānasaṃsthitānmatto raktaraktānmalāśinaḥ || 33 ||

I sucked the warm heart blood, as the milk of my mother's breast, at the time of famishing; and being besmeared in blood, I stood as a blood sucking demon in the cemetery.
