हित्वा ब्रह्मजलं दूरे पीतं कूपोदकं त्वया ॥ सूर्यं हित्वा तु खद्योतो गृहीतो यत्नतस्त्वया ॥ ११ ॥

Setting aside the sacred river water you have drunk the well-water. Losing the sun you have clung to the glowworm in all earnestness.

english translation

तण्डुलांश्च तथा हित्वा कृतं वै तुषभक्षणम् ॥ प्रक्षिप्याज्यं तथा तैलं कारण्डं भुक्तमादरात् ॥ १२ ॥

Throwing away cooked rice you have eaten the husk. Spilling away the clarified butter you have eagerly swallowed castor oil.

सिंहसेवां तथा मुक्त्वा शृगालस्सेवितस्त्वया ॥ ब्रह्मविद्यां तथा मुक्त्वा कुगाथा च श्रुता त्वया ॥ १३ ॥

Setting the lion aside a jackal has been served by you. Without listening to the lore of Supreme Brahman you have heard base ballads.

english translation

गृहे यज्ञविभूतिं हि दूरीकृत्य सुमंगलाम् ॥ गृहीतश्च चिताभस्म त्वया पुत्रि ह्यमंगलम् ॥ १४ ॥

O daughter, casting off the holy sacrificial ashes at home you have taken the inauspicious ashes from the funeral pyre.

सर्वान् देववरांस्त्यक्त्वा विष्ण्वादीन्परमेश्वरान् ॥ कृतं त्वया कुबुद्ध्या वै शिवार्थं तप ईदृशम् ॥ १५ ॥

Abandoning the great lords, Viṣṇu and others you have performed penance for Śiva. Your intellect has really gone astray.
