नामतो अहिशर्मेति तस्य पत्नी कला शुभा ॥
His name was Ahisharma. His wife was the good Kala. He had wealth and grain. He was handsome as the god of love.
याति चाखेटकं नित्यं मृगीं हत्वा च गार्भिणीम् ॥
He went hunting every day. He killed even a pregnant doe. Each day he fed his body on deer meat.
शरीरे वृद्धता जाता दया तस्य न चाभवत् ॥
Old age came to his body. He had no mercy. Then at his death, O Goddess, his wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband).
