ਹੇ ਰਾਮ, ਤੈਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਥਕਾਵਟ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ, ਨਾ ਬੁਖਾਰ; ਤੇਰੇ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਗਾੜ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਵੇਗਾ। ਤੂੰ ਸੁੱਤਾ ਹੋਵੇਂ ਜਾਂ ਬੇਖ਼ਬਰ, ਰਾਖਸ਼ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਹਾਨੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਸਕਣਗੇ।
"(If you receive these mantras), you will experience neither fatigue, nor fever nor will there be a change in your appearance. Whether you are asleep or agitated, rakshasas cannot harm you.
