Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
नियोजयति मामिष्टविरोधाच्च विवर्जनम् ।
आक्रुष्टोऽन्येन मन्येत ताडितो वा नियोजिका ॥
niyojayati mām iṣṭa-virodhāc ca vivarjanam / ākruṣṭo 'nyena manyeta tāḍito vā niyojikā
Dengan berfikir, “Dialah yang mendorongku,” seseorang hendaklah mengelakkan perbuatan bermusuhan terhadap apa yang dikasihi (oleh orang lain atau demi kebaikan diri). Jika dicela oleh orang lain atau bahkan dipukul, hendaklah difahami itu sebagai perbuatan si penghasut, dan jangan dibiarkan diri terdorong untuk membalas.
