Go to a demon's womb· Verses 11–15

पार्वत्युवाच ।अयं किमधुना लोके शास्ता दण्डधरः प्रभुः ।अस्मद्विधानां दुष्टानां निर्लज्जानां च विप्रकृत्

Parvati said: What, is this one now the ruler of the world, holding the rod, the master, the corrector of the wicked and the shameless, of our sort? So the lotus-born does not know dharma, nor Brahma's sons, Bhrgu and Narada and the rest, nor Kumara, nor Kapila, nor Manu — they who do not hold back Hara, who oversteps everything, or us. This kshatriya in name only slights the learned and lays down the law to the teacher of the world, himself the auspiciousness of all that is auspicious, on whose two lotus feet these men meditate. He is bold, and so he is fit to be punished. This man does not deserve to come to the feet of him whom nothing hinders, which the good wait upon. He thinks well of himself, and he is stiff.

So go, wrong-minded one, to a worse birth, a womb of demons, so that here you will not do the great any harm again, my son.
