You are naturally cruel. If the other demigods, unaware of my prowess, follow you by attacking me with raised weapons, I shall sever their heads with this sharp trident. With those heads I shall perform a sacrifice to Bhairava and the other leaders of the ghosts, along with their hordes.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

If other ignorant people who follow a cruel person like you attack me with raised weapons, I will offer them to Bhairava and his followers, with their necks severed by my sharp trident. If others who follow you attack, I will worship Bhairava with their bodies. I will please the demons and Bhairava, their leader.
