स्वमुखं वानरस्येव दृष्ट्वा चुक्रोध सत्वरम्॥ शापन्ददौ तयोस्तत्र गणयोर्मोहितो मुनिः ॥५६॥

On seeing his face like that of a monkey he became infuriated. The deluded sage cursed the two attendants.

युवां ममोपहासं वै चक्रतुर्ब्राह्मणस्य हि॥ भवेतां राक्षसौ विप्रवीर्यजौ वै तदाकृती॥५७॥

Since you had mocked at me, you will become demons born of brahminical semen and of that form.

english translation

श्रुत्वा हरगणावित्थं स्वशापं ज्ञानिसत्तमौ॥ न किंचिदूचतुस्तौ हि मुनिमाज्ञाय मोहितम् ॥५८॥

On hearing the curse, the two attendants of perfect wisdom remained silent because they knew that the sage was deluded.

english translation

स्वस्थानं जग्मतुर्विप्रा उदासीनौ शिवस्तुतिम्॥ चक्रतुर्मन्यमानौ वै शिवेच्छां सकलां सदा ॥५९॥

O brahmins, they returned to their abode and sitting there quietly went on eulogising Śiva. They considered everything as Śiva’s will.
