मुखनेत्रविकूणनया नासाप्रच्छादनावनमितास्यैः ।
अव्यक्तपादपतनैर्बीभत्सः सम्यगभिनेयः

avyaktapādapatanairbībhatsaḥ samyagabhineyaḥ

The line

By contracting the face and the eyes, by covering the nose, by a mouth bent down, by unclear steps of the feet, the disgusting is to be acted well.

अनुहार र आँखा खुम्च्याएर, नाक छोपर, मुख तल झुकाएर र खुट्टाका अस्पष्ट पाइलाले बीभत्स राम्ररी अभिनय गरिन्छ।

Where it sits

The consequents. The body closes.
