    Translation by Emmanuel Francis

    Woe to them! Woe to them! Again woe woe woe woe be to them
    In whose heart does not dwell the one who releases from going the wrong path: Rudra!

    Translation into French by Sylvain Brocquet

    Malheur à ceux, malheur à ceux, et encore malheur, malheur, malheur à ceux
    Dans le cœur de qui n’habite point celui qui délivre des mauvais chemins : Rudra !
