Those men on whose body are marks of Gorochana, or who hold Vachas in their hands, or who make gifts of clarified butter with Akshata, or who place clarified butter and Akshata on their heads, or those who abstain from meat, are incapable of being afflicted by us. That man in whose house the sacred fire burns day and night without being ever extinguished or who keeps the skin or teeth of a wolf in his house or a hill-tortoise, or from whose house the sacrificial smoke is seen to curl upwards or who keeps a cat or a goat that is either tawny or black in colour, is free from our power.
गोरोचनासमालम्भो वचाहस्तश्च यो भवेत्। घृताक्षतं च यो दद्यान्मस्तके तत्परायणः॥ ये च मांसं न खादन्ति तान् न शक्नुम हिसितुम्। यस्य चाग्निगृहे नित्यं दिवारात्रौ च दीप्यते॥ तरक्षोश्चर्म दंष्ट्राश्च तथैव गिरिकच्छपः। आज्यधूमो बिडालश्चच्छागः कृष्णोऽथ पिङ्गलः॥
