दंष्ट्राभ्या मिति यस्तत्र नरश्चौरार्दितः पठेत् । नोपद्रवो भवेत्तस्य कदाचिच्चौरसंभवः
daṃṣṭrābhyā miti yastatra naraścaurārditaḥ paṭhet | nopadravo bhavettasya kadāciccaurasaṃbhavaḥ
దొంగల వల్ల బాధపడే మనిషి అక్కడ ‘దంష్ట్రాభ్యాం’ అని పఠిస్తే, దొంగల కారణంగా కలిగే ఉపద్రవం అతనికి ఎప్పుడూ ఉండదు।
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha-māhātmya narration style)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lone pilgrim on a road near the tīrtha recites a mantra; shadowy thieves retreat, while a protective divine aura (like fangs/daṁṣṭrā symbolism) forms a shield around him.
Dharma safeguards household life; devotion and disciplined recitation are depicted as protective supports for society.
A tīrtha in Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya (the verse’s ‘tatra’ indicates the sanctified location).
Recitation of a mantra identified by the words “daṁṣṭrābhyām iti” to avert troubles caused by thieves.
