English Translation

तापसयोः you wear attire of ascetics, वाम् you both, वासः stay, कथम् how is it possible, अधर्मचरिणौ both unrighteous people, मुनिदूषकौ both distorting ascetic discipline, पापौ sinners, युवाम् both , कौ who are you?

English Commentary

How is it that you both, dressed in the robes of ascetics, live with a woman? Leading an unrighteous and sinful life, who are you who have brought disgrace to the ascetic discipline ?
