दंष्ट्राभ्या मिति यस्तत्र नरश्चौरार्दितः पठेत् । नोपद्रवो भवेत्तस्य कदाचिच्चौरसंभवः
daṃṣṭrābhyā miti yastatra naraścaurārditaḥ paṭhet | nopadravo bhavettasya kadāciccaurasaṃbhavaḥ
Và người bị bọn trộm quấy nhiễu, nếu tại đó tụng câu “Daṁṣṭrābhyām”, thì sẽ không bao giờ còn chịu sự xáo động nào do trộm cướp gây ra.
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.
