Shloka 216
Kurukṣetra-sainyadarśana and Arjuna-viṣāda (धर्मक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः — अर्जुनविषाद)
यक्षरक्ष:पिशाचेभ्यो न भयं विद्यते सदा । जो मनुष्य सबेरे उठकर इस स्तोत्रका पाठ करता है, उसे यक्ष, राक्षस और पिशाचोंसे कभी भय नहीं होता
yakṣarakṣaḥpiśācebhyo na bhayaṁ vidyate sadā |
Bagi orang yang melafalkan kidung pujian ini saat bangun di pagi hari, tidak ada rasa takut terhadap yakṣa, rākṣasa, maupun piśāca.

Educational Q&A
Regular, disciplined recitation of a sacred hymn—especially at the start of the day—cultivates spiritual protection and inner fearlessness, symbolically warding off harmful forces and anxieties.
Sañjaya reports a promised fruit (phalaśruti) of a stotra: the reciter who rises early and chants it is said to remain free from fear caused by yakṣas, rākṣasas, and piśācas.
