Being thus accosted Brahmā said to the tennecked demon, “O lord of Rākşasas, do you recite it at the time of death and not every day. Taking a string of beads, you should recite this holy incantation, on which, you, O lord of Rasasas, shall be invincible, and if do you not recite it you shall not meet with success. Hear, I shall communicate to you the incantation, O foremost of Rākşasas, reciting which you shall obtain victory in the encounter. 'Salutation to you, O god, O lord of gods, O you worshipped of the celestials and Asuras.
एवमुक्तो दशग्रीवं ब्रह्मा वचनमब्रवीत्। प्राणात्ययेषु जप्तव्यो न नित्यं राक्षसाधिप॥ अक्षसूत्रं गृहीत्वा तु जपेन्मन्त्रमिमं शुभम्। जप्त्वा तु राक्षसपते त्वमजेयो भविष्यसि॥ अजत्वा राक्षसपते न ते सिद्धिर्भविष्यति। शृणु मन्त्रं प्रवक्ष्यामि येन राक्षसपुंगव॥ मन्त्रस्य कीर्तनादेव प्राप्स्यसे समरे जयम्। नमस्ते देवदेवेश सुरासुरनमस्कृत॥
