Sanskrit Original
सुनहु सभासद सकल मुनिंदा। कही सुनी जिन्ह संकर निंदा।। सो फलु तुरत लहब सब काहूँ। भली भाँति पछिताब पिताहूँ।। संत संभु श्रीपति अपबादा। सुनिअ जहाँ तहँ असि मरजादा।। काटिअ तासु जीभ जो बसाई। श्रवन मूदि न त चलिअ पराई।। जगदातमा महेसु पुरारी। जगत जनक सब के हितकारी।। पिता मंदमति निंदत तेही। दच्छ सुक्र संभव यह देही।। तजिहउँ तुरत देह तेहि हेतू। उर धरि चंद्रमौलि बृषकेतू।। अस कहि जोग अगिनि तनु जारा। भयउ सकल मख हाहाकारा।।

Hear ye elders of the assembly and all great sages! All of you who have reviled Sarkara or heard Him reviled must forthwith reap the fruit of your sin and My father too shall fully repent. Wherever you hear a saint, Sambhu or Visnu (the Lord of Laksmi) vilified, the rule is that if it lies within your power you should tear out the tongue of the reviler or you should run away closing your ears. The Slayer of Tripura, the great Lord Siva, is the universal Spirit; He is the father of the universe and is beneficent to all. It is Him that my stupid father vilifies; and this body of Mine has sprung from the loins of Daksa. Therefore, installing in My heart Lord Siva, who bears the moon on His forehead and a bull as His emblem, I shall immediately quit this body. As She spoke thus She burnt Her body with the fire of Yoga.* A plaintive cry rose from the whole assembly. (1-4)
