Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
नियोजयति मामिष्टविरोधाच्च विवर्जनम् ।
आक्रुष्टोऽन्येन मन्येत ताडितो वा नियोजिका ॥
niyojayati mām iṣṭa-virodhāc ca vivarjanam / ākruṣṭo 'nyena manyeta tāḍito vā niyojikā
In dem Gedanken: „Sie treibt mich an“, soll man Handeln aus Feindseligkeit gegenüber dem, was lieb ist (anderen oder dem eigenen Wohl), meiden.
