Verse 5.50.68
रतिं गतं नित्यमसत्प्रदेशे शरीरमांसग्रसनेन पुष्टम् ।
दुष्टक्रियाकर्कशचञ्चुदण्डमेकेक्षणं पुष्टतमोंशुकृष्णम् ॥ ६८ ॥
ratiṃ gataṃ nityamasatpradeśe śarīramāṃsagrasanena puṣṭam |
duṣṭakriyākarkaśacañcudaṇḍamekekṣaṇaṃ puṣṭatamoṃśukṛṣṇam || 68 ||
Drive away the crow-like ravenous heart, from within the nest of your bosom. It is fond of frequenting filthy places, as the ravens hover over funeral grounds, and crows squat in dirty spots, and fatten their bodies by feeding on the flesh of all rotten carcasses. It is cunning in its craft and too cruel in its acts. It uses the lips like the bills of the crow only to hurt others, and is one-eyed as the crow, looking only to its own selfish interest; it is black all over its body for its black purposes and deeds.
