Dared Umá's[154] new-wed lord to storm

And make the God his prize.

'Gainst Stháṇu's[155] self, on rites austere

And vows intent,[156] they say,

His bold rash hand he dared to rear,

Though Stháṇu cried, Away!

But the God's eye with scornful glare

Fell terrible on him.

Dissolved the shape that was so fair

And burnt up every limb.
