क्वचिन्नरकसंलीना क्वचित्स्वर्गविलासिनी ।
क्वचित्सुरपदं प्राप्ता क्वचित्कृमितया स्थिता ॥ ३० ॥

kvacinnarakasaṃlīnā kvacitsvargavilāsinī |
kvacitsurapadaṃ prāptā kvacitkṛmitayā sthitā || 30 ||

Sometimes it resides in the infernal regions, and at others it dwells in the heavens above; sometimes it is exalted to the dignity of gods, and some where it remains in the state of mean insects and worms.
