Funny verses on begging by cronies - देवेथं जगति तले पुरहराभाव...

How cronies of leaders beg from them!!..

Just heard this today and have tried to write it without error. It is too hilarious! If you can point a grammatical or spelling error, let me know - I will change

देवेथं जगति तले पुरहराभाव​: समुन्मीषति
अर्धं दानववैरिणा गिरिजयापि अर्धं शिवस्याहृतं ।
गङ्गासागरमम्बरं शशधरो नागाधिप​: क्ष्मातलं
सर्वज्ञत्वं ईश्वरत्वमगमत्त्वं मां च भिक्षाटनम् ॥

This poet goes to a king and says - O Lord! Lord Shiva is gone - half His body is taken away by Parvati Devi. the other half by Lord Vishnu - to become Shankara-Narayana

Of His ornaments - The Ganga has joined the ocean, the moon has gone back to space and the serpent to the base of the earth.

BUT - His Omniscience and Omnipotence have come to you O lord!!!! And I am left with His begging bowl!! [Therefore please Give me generously:))]

One more!

राजन् त्वत् कीर्तिचन्द्रेण तिथय​: पूर्णिमा: कृता: ।
किन्तु मद्गृहम् आयाता तिथिरेकादशी भयात् ॥

Alternate reading

राजस्त्वत्कीर्तिचन्द्रेण तिथयः पूर्णिमा कृताः । 
मद्रेहान्न बहिर्यीति तिथिरेकादशी भयात् ॥

 King! Your fame is like the full moon. Since you entered, all "tithis" are now only Poornima. But only one tithi has entered my home - Ekadashi (due to which I have to keep fasting! Therefore please give me generously!!)
