prthivi vayur akasam
apo ’gnis candrama ravih
kapoto ’jagarah sindhuh
patango madhukrd gajah
madhu-ha harino minah
pingala kuraro ’rbhakah
kumari sara-krt sarpa
urnanabhih supesakrt
ete me guravo rajan
catur-vimsatir asritah
siksa vrttibhir etesam
anvasiksam ihatmanah
Translation:
O King, I have taken shelter of twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon and python; the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant and honey thief; the deer, the fish, the prostitute Pingala, the kurara bird and the child; and the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp. My dear King, by studying their activities I have learned the science of the self.
Purport:
The wasp is known as supesa-krt because it causes the insect that it kills to take a beautiful form in the next life.
