satāye, shashi sigarī nishi hāya!

English meaning

A virahiṇī, abusing the moon says, “Oh! Oh! This moon is bent on giving me pain throughout the night and is burning me. The wickedness in the world is earned either from lineage, or from association; but so far as this moon is concerned, his lineage is of the ocean and his association is always with Bhagwan Shiva’s forehead. Why, then, does he perform such a bad deed of burning? This moon is so unabashed that bearing the blame of killing the lovelorn ladies within his heart in the form of a black spot, he smiles before the whole world in the night. And this wicked moon has kept at a great distance from him even his darling, the water-lily, who practises severe austerities for him by continuously drowning herself in the water. So far as I understand, the temperature of the moon’s poison is a lot fiercer than that of the deadly poison drunk by Bhagwan Shiva.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “That is why Bhagwan Shiva readily drank the deadly poison but fearing the poison of the moon, he has kept it on his head only.”
