A Rakshasas, named Baka, lives not far off from this town. That greatly powerful (cannibal) is the lord of this town and of this country. That wicked-minded and powerful cannibal, that chief of the Asuras, being fattened by (eating) human flesh, rules over this country. This country and town are protected by the strength of that Rakshasas; thus being protected, we have no fear of any enemy, nay of any living soul.
समीपे नगरस्यास्य बको वसति राक्षसः। ईशो जनपदस्यास्य पुरस्य च महाबलः॥ पुष्टो मानुषमांसेन दुर्बुद्धिः पुरुषादकः। रक्षत्यसुररानित्यमिमं जनपदं बली॥ नगरं चैव देशं च रक्षोबलसमन्वितः। तत्कृते परचक्राच्च भूतेब्यश्च न नो भयम्॥
