Shloka 36
द्रौपदी-स्वयंवर-प्रारम्भः
Commencement of Draupadī’s Svayaṃvara
सक्तो मानुषमांसेषु यथोक्तः शक्तिना तथा । उद्वेजनीयो भूतानां चरिष्यति महीमिमाम्,जैसा कि शक्ति मुनिने कहा है, वह मनुष्योंके मांसमें आसक्त हो समस्त प्राणियोंका उद्वेगपात्र बनकर इस पृथ्वीपर विचरेगा
saktaḥ mānuṣa-māṃseṣu yathoktaḥ śaktinā tathā | udvejanīyo bhūtānāṃ cariṣyati mahīm imām ||
శక్తి ముని చెప్పినట్లే, అతడు మనుష్యమాంసంలో ఆసక్తుడై, సమస్త ప్రాణులకు భయంకరుడై ఈ భూమిపై సంచరిస్తాడు।

The verse underscores karmic and ethical consequence: when one becomes enslaved by a grievously adharmic craving (here, cannibalistic violence), one turns into a threat to society and all beings, and such degeneration is presented as the inevitable fruition of a foretold curse/prophecy.
A brāhmaṇa declares that, just as the sage Śakti has said, the person in question will become addicted to human flesh and will wander the earth, terrifying living beings—marking a transformation into a roaming menace (a rakṣasa-like existence in effect).
