Chhand Text
तन खीन कोउ अति पीन पावन कोउ अपावन गति धरें। भूषन कराल कपाल कर सब सद्य सोनित तन भरें॥ खर स्वान सुअर सृकाल मुख गन बेष अगनित को गनै। बहु जिनस प्रेत पिसाच जोगि जमात बरनत नहिं बनै॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tana khīna kou ati pīna pāvana kou apāvana gati dhareṃ। bhūṣana karāla kapāla kara saba sadya sonita tana bhareṃ॥ khara svāna suara sr̥kāla mukha gana beṣa aganita ko ganai। bahu jinasa preta pisāca jogi jamāta baranata nahiṃ banai॥
Meaning
Some are very lean, some very fat, some in auspicious and some in inauspicious forms. They wear terrible ornaments, hold skulls in their hands, and are all smeared with fresh blood. Their faces are like those of donkeys, dogs, pigs, and jackals. Who can count the countless forms of Shiva's attendants? There are hosts of ghosts, demons, and yogis; their description cannot be done.
