Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
चिन्तयेच्च नरः पापा मामेषा दुष्टचेतना ।
भ्रामयत्यसकृज्जप्यं भुवः सूक्तं समाधिना ॥
cintayec ca naraḥ: pāpā mām eṣā duṣṭa-cetanā | bhrāmayaty asakṛj japyaṃ bhuvaḥ sūktaṃ samādhinā ||
అప్పుడు ఆ పురుషుడు ఇలా మననం చేయాలి—‘ఈ పాపిని, దుష్టచిత్తం గలది నన్ను భ్రమింపజేస్తోంది/తిప్పుతోంది.’ తరువాత ఏకాగ్రతతో పునఃపునః ‘భూః-సూక్తం’ జపించాలి.

Protection is not only external; it is also cognitive and contemplative: naming the disturbance, rejecting it ethically (‘pāpā’), and restoring steadiness through disciplined recitation and concentration.
Mantra/ācāra instruction; not pancalakṣaṇa.
The ‘Bhūḥ’ principle is grounding; japa with samādhi counters ‘bhrama’ (whirling) by re-centering awareness, converting scattered attention into stable presence.
