तत्र गत्वाश्रममृबेर्दूषयन्ती निशाचरौ । ध्वस्तौ सुबाहुमारीचौ प्रसन्नोऽभूत्तदा मुनिः ॥ १० ॥

तेथे जाऊन दोन निशाचर राक्षसांनी मुनींच्या आश्रमाला दूषित करायला सुरुवात केली. पण सुबाहु व मारीच नष्ट होताच त्या वेळी मुनि अत्यंत प्रसन्न झाले.

It highlights the sanctity of a sage’s āśrama and the dharmic necessity of removing forces that defile sacred practice; peace (prasāda) arises when obstacles to tapas and yajña are eliminated.
By implying that devotion and sacred disciplines flourish in a protected, pure environment—when disruptive, adharmic influences are checked, the devotee’s and sage’s mind becomes prasanna (serene), enabling steadier bhakti.
