न च ताभिर्विमुक्तो ऽभूत्कपाली ब्रह्महत्यया / विषण्णवदनो दीनो निःश्रीक इव लक्षितः / चिरेण प्राप्तवान्काञ्चीं ब्रह्मणा पूर्वमोषिताम्

na ca tābhirvimukto 'bhūtkapālī brahmahatyayā / viṣaṇṇavadano dīno niḥśrīka iva lakṣitaḥ / cireṇa prāptavānkāñcīṃ brahmaṇā pūrvamoṣitām
Translation
Yet Kapālī was not released from the sin of brahmahatyā by those holy places. Downcast in face, wretched and forlorn, as though bereft of splendor, after a long time he reached Kāñcī, once inhabited by Brahmā.
