अथ कदाचित्कश्चिद्वृषलपतिर्भद्रकाल्यै पुरुषपशुमालभतापत्यकामः. ॥ १२ ॥
atha kadacit kascid vrsala-patir bhadra-kalyai purusa-pasum
alabhatapatya-kamaḥ. atha-thereafter; kadacit-at some time; kascit-some; vrsala-patiḥ-the leader of sūdras engaged in plundering the property of others; bhadra-kalyai-unto the goddess known as Bhadra Kali; purusa-pasum-an animal in the shape of a man; alabhata-started to sacrifice; apatya-kamaḥ-desiring a son.
TRANSLATION
At this time, being desirous of obtaining a son, a leader of dacoits who came from a sūdra family wanted to worship the goddess Bhadra Kali by offering her in sacrifice a dull man, who is considered no better than an animal.
PURPORT
Low-class men such as sūdras worship demigods like goddess Kali, or Bhadra Kali, for the fulfillment of material desires. To this end, they sometimes kill a human being before the deity. They generally choose a person who is not very intelligent-in other words, an animal in the shape of a man.
