Verse 12·VR 3.71.12

अनाहारः कथम् शक्तो भग्न सक्थि शिरो मुखः || ३-७१-१२ वज्रेण अभिहतः कालम् सु दीर्घम् अपि जीवितुम् |

anaahaaraH katham shakto bhagna sakthi shiro mukhaH || 3-71-12 vajreNa abhihataH kaalam su diirgham api jiivitum |

Translation

" 'By the impaction of Thunderbolt disarranged are my thighs and head, thereby my mouth went into my stomach... and without thighs how can I prowl, without arms how can I scrabble, and without a mouth how can I guzzle... and how am I capable to live on, and even that living too, is destined for too long a time...' [3-71-12b, 13a]
