किं त्रिनेत्रः किमुग्रात्मा किमेकः किंप्रयोजनः ।
केनेरितः किमकरोच्छायासीद्वद का मुने ॥ १८ ॥

kiṃ trinetraḥ kimugrātmā kimekaḥ kiṃprayojanaḥ |
keneritaḥ kimakarocchāyāsīdvada kā mune || 18 ||

Why had he his three eyes, and so fierce a form; was he absolute in himself or delegated by any other? What was his errand and his act; and was it a mere shadow or having a shadow (helpmate) of its substance (i.e. maya or Illusion)?
