A Rākşasa named Khara, a younger brother of Rāvana, has been harassing the ascetics dwelling in Janasthāna. And Dhrsta also a fearless and wicked Rākṣasa feeding on human beings, and the unrighteous Avalipta, cannot bear you, my child. As long, my child, as you have been residing in this asylum, the Rākşasas have been plaguing the ascetics.
रावणावरजः कश्चित् खरो नामेह राक्षसः। उत्पाट्य तापसान् सर्वाञ्जनस्थाननिवासिनः॥ धृष्टश्च जितकाशी च नृशंसः पुरुषादकः। अवलिप्तश्च पापश्च त्वां च तात न मृष्यते ॥ त्वं यदाप्रभृति ह्यस्मिन्नाश्रमे तात वर्तसे। तदाप्रभृति रक्षांसि विप्रकुर्वन्ति तापसान्॥
