Translation

The feet of Lord Shiva were not meditated upon in the prescribed manner to cut off the bondage of worldly existence. Even the merits which are capable of breaking open the bolted door of the heaven were not earned. The huge pair of breasts of a woman was not embraced even in a dream. We are just axes in destroying the youthful forest of the mother. ॥ 45 ॥
