सर्वेप्याक्षारयिष्यंति तव तातं च मामपि ॥ मातुश्चरित्रं तनयो धत्ते दुर्भाषणैरिति ॥ ३१ ॥

People will curse and cavil at your father and me saying such evil words as “The son has adopted the wickedness of the mother.”

english translation

पितापि ते न पापीयाञ्छ्रुतिस्मृतिपथानुगः ॥ तदंघ्रिलीनमनसो मम साक्षी महेश्वरः ॥३२॥

Your father has never been a sinner. He strictly follows the path of the Vedas and Smṛtis. Lord Śiva is my witness for the purity of my mind that is riveted to his feet.

english translation

न चर्तुस्नातययापीह मुखं दुष्टस्य वीक्षितम्॥ अहो बलीयान्स विधिर्येन जातो भवानिति ॥ ३३ ॥

I have not seen the face of any wicked man after my menstrual bath. Powerful indeed is Fate whence a boy like you is born of my womb!”

english translation

प्रतिक्षणं जनन्येति शिक्ष्यमाणोतिदुर्मतिः ॥। न तत्याज च तद्धर्मं दुर्बोधो व्यसनी यतः ॥ ३४ ॥

Although constantly advised thus by his mother, the wicked boy did not abandon his evil ways. For, an idiot indulging in vice is beyond redemption.

english translation

मृगयामद्यपैशुन्यानृतचौर्यदुरोदरैः ॥ स वारदारैर्व्यसनैरेभिः कोऽत्र न खंडितः ॥ ३५ ॥।

Who is he that is not broken up by the evil influences of hunting, wine, slander, untruth, theft, gambling and prostitutes?
