Transliteration
ye janāḥ puṣkaradvīpe vasante raudradarśane paiśācamāśritā dharmaṃ karmānte te vināśinaḥ
Translation
Ceux qui demeurent en Puṣkaradvīpa—terribles à contempler—ayant pris refuge dans un dharma et un mode de vie semblables à ceux des piśāca (êtres impurs et démoniaques), sont détruits à la fin de leur karma, lorsque mûrissent les fruits de leurs actes.
