संसरन्त्विह ये चामुमनु शर्वावमानिनम् ॥२४॥
vidyÄ-buddhir avidyÄyÄá¹
karmamayyÄm asau jaá¸aḥ
saá¹sarantv iha ye cÄmum
anu Å›arvÄvamÄninam
vidyÄ-buddhiḥ - materialistic education and intelligence; avidyÄyÄm - in nescience; karma-mayyÄm - formed of fruitive activities; asau - he (Daká¹£a); jaá¸aḥ - dull; saá¹sarantu - let them take birth again and again; iha - here in this world; ye - who; ca - and; amum - Daká¹£a; anu - following; Å›arva - Åšiva; avamÄninam - insulting.
Those who have become as dull as matter by cultivating materialistic education and intelligence are nesciently involved in fruitive activities. Such men have purposely insulted Lord Åšiva. May they continue in the cycle of repeated birth and death.
The three curses mentioned above are sufficient to make one as dull as stone, void of spiritual knowledge and preoccupied with materialistic education, which is nescience. After uttering these curses, NandÄ«Å›vara then cursed the brÄhmaṇas to continue in the cycle of birth and death because of their supporting Daká¹£a in blaspheming Lord Åšiva.
