Adhyaya 63 — Sumati's Dharma
तस्मात्त्वं राक्षसः पाप मच्छापेन निराकृतः । भविष्यसि न सन्देहः सपरात्रेण दारुणः ॥
tasmāt tvaṃ rākṣasaḥ pāpa macchāpena nirākṛtaḥ | bhaviṣyasi na sandehaḥ saptarātreṇa dāruṇaḥ ||
Посему, о грешник — отвергнутый моим проклятием — ты станешь ракшасой; нет сомнения: в течение семи ночей это будет ужасно.
