ye me tanūr dvija-varān duhatīr madīyā
Who would not tolerate the offense of brāhmaṇas ? I, whose foot water immediately purifies all the planets and Śiva, carry on my crown the brāhmanās’ pure foot dust, and by that have attained unlimited wealth of power.
The offenses made by the brāhmaṇa should be tolerated, and not corrected. Who does not tolerate brāhmaṇas who have made mistakes? All people would. Showing his crown with his forefinger, , he speaks to those inquiring why he does so. I carry on my crown the dust from the feet of brāhmaṇas. I, whose foot water purifies all the worlds and Śiva, have become a wealth of unrestricted powers by the mercy of holding the dust of the brāhmaṇa on my head. One should take the foot water of he who puts brāhmaṇa’s dust on his head.

ye me tanūr dvija-varān duhatīr madīyā
bhūtāny alabdha-śaraṇāni ca bheda-buddhyā
drakṣyanty agha-kṣata-dṛśo hy ahi-manyavas tān
gṛdhrā ruṣā mama kuṣanty adhidaṇḍa-netuḥ
The enraged servants of Yama, with forms like vultures, tear out the eyes of those who, with vision destroyed by sin, see difference between my forms and the brāhmaṇas, cows and shelterless beings.
What to speak of those who do not tolerate offenses of brāhmaṇas, those who see difference between me and brāhmaṇas go to hell. Those persons who see my forms as different from the brāhmaṇas, the cows (duhatīḥ) and those without shelter, go to hell. Instead of duhatīḥ sometimes duhitṛ (daughter) is seen. This also means cow since the cow arose from the sun as part of the universal form. The cow is daughter of the sun. The enraged (ahi manyavaḥ) servants of Yama, empowered by me, who have forms like vultures, tear those persons’ eyes with their beaks.
