Hearing the words of the priests, the king addressed his sixty thousand sons in the midst of his court, saying, 'l'eing, as this great sacrifice is, presided over by eminently pious Brāhmaṇas sanctified by mantras, I do not, you foremost of men, you sons, see how Raksasas may find entrance into it.'
सोपाध्यायवचः श्रुत्वा तस्मिन् सदसि पार्थिवः॥ षष्ठिं पुत्रसहस्राणि वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह। गतिं पुत्रा न पश्यामि रक्षसां पुरुषर्षभाः॥
