Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
सर्वारम्भान् कुमारो 'त्ति शस्ताताञ्चानसूयताम् ।
विप्रोक्त्या देवतास्तुत्या मूलोत्खातेन च द्विज ॥
sarvārambhān kumāro 'tti śastātāñ cānasūyatām | viproktyā devatā-stutyā mūlotkhātena ca dvija ||
‘कुमार’ सर्व उपक्रमांचा नाश/बिघाड करतो; आणि जे सुभाषित आहे त्यात दोष शोधू नये. हे द्विज! ब्राह्मणाच्या सल्ल्याने, देवतांची स्तुती करून, आणि विषय मुळासकट उपटून टाकल्याने (हा दोष) शांत होतो.

When obstacles arise, dharma counsels three levels of response: wise guidance (vipra-ukti), devotional realignment (devatā-stuti), and practical correction (mūlotkhāta). Also, avoid corrosive fault-finding, which itself worsens social and mental disorder.
Dharma/ācāra and nimitta-prayoga; not the genealogical/cosmic core.
‘Uprooting the root’ indicates that omens are surface indicators of deeper imbalance—ethical, psychological, or ritual. The verse integrates outer rite with inner reform.
