[558] "This pool is full of urine and excrement, foul-smelling, impure, wafting a putrid stench; human beings, overcome by hunger, eat of it. Fear indeed comes upon me, O charioteer, at this sight. I ask you, Mātali, divine charioteer: what evil, pray, have these mortals done, these people who feed on urine and excrement?"
