Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
चिन्तयेच्च नरः पापा मामेषा दुष्टचेतना ।
भ्रामयत्यसकृज्जप्यं भुवः सूक्तं समाधिना ॥
cintayec ca naraḥ: pāpā mām eṣā duṣṭa-cetanā | bhrāmayaty asakṛj japyaṃ bhuvaḥ sūktaṃ samādhinā ||
അപ്പോൾ ആ പുരുഷൻ ചിന്തിക്കണം—‘ഈ പാപിനി, ദുഷ്ടചിത്തയുള്ളവൾ എന്നെ ഭ്രമിപ്പിച്ച് അലഞ്ഞുതിരിയിക്കുന്നു.’ തുടർന്ന് ഏകാഗ്രതയോടെ പുനഃപുനഃ ‘ഭൂഃ-സൂക്തം’ ജപിക്കണം.

Protection is not only external; it is also cognitive and contemplative: naming the disturbance, rejecting it ethically (‘pāpā’), and restoring steadiness through disciplined recitation and concentration.
Mantra/ācāra instruction; not pancalakṣaṇa.
The ‘Bhūḥ’ principle is grounding; japa with samādhi counters ‘bhrama’ (whirling) by re-centering awareness, converting scattered attention into stable presence.
