Verse 31

²⁷There the sages passed six enclosures without being stopped, and at the seventh they saw two gods of the same age, holding maces, richly dressed with armlets and earrings and crowns beyond price, ²⁸wearing forest garlands with drunken bees in them, hung between their four dark arms; and their faces held a little violence, with a crooked brow, with breath plainly coming hard through the nostrils, and with reddened eyes. ²⁹The sages went in at that gate while the two looked on, without asking, as they had gone in at the earlier gates with their doors of gold and adamant; for by their own way of seeing, which is even everywhere, they move about anywhere unchecked and with nothing to fear.

³⁰Seeing those four boys girdled with the wind, old, and of the age of five years, who knew what the self is, those two, whose bent ran against the Bhagavan's, laughed at their splendour and turned them back with a staff, though they did not deserve it. ³¹Held back at the door by those two of Hari's, while the unblinking ones looked on, though they were most worthy of honour, their wish to see their dearest friend broken, their eyes all at once swimming a little with what is desire's younger brother, they spoke.
