1.48.1

arasasya śarkoṭasya
nīcīnasyopasarpataḥ |
viṣaṃ hi sarvam ādiṣy
atho enam ajījabham ||

1.48.2

na te bāhvo raso asti
na śīrṣe nota madhyataḥ |
kim idaṃ pāpayāmuyā
pucche bibharṣy arbhakam ||

1.48.3

yat te skandhān upatasthau
vijāmni yac ca te parau |
apamityam ivābhṛtaṃ
malaṃ te prati dadhmasi ||

1.48.4

adanti tvā pipīlikā
vi vṛścanti mayūryaḥ |
sarve bhala bravātha
śārkoṭam arasaṃ viṣam ||
