What acts are considered as obstacles to your power? What indeed, are those acts on account of which you cannot afflict men? What are those acts that are destructive of Rakshasas and which prevent you from influencing the dwellings of men? Ye night rangers, we wish to hear all this from you.
के च स्मृताः प्रतीघाता येन मर्त्यान् न हिंसथ। रक्षोनानि च कानि स्युर्यगृहेषु प्रणश्यथ। श्रोतुमिच्छाम युष्माकं सर्वमेतन्निशाचराः॥
