Shloka 5
Ṛśyaśṛṅgopākhyāna-praveśaḥ — Lomāśa narrates the origins of Ṛśyaśṛṅga and the Anga drought (ऋश्यशृङ्गोपाख्यान-प्रवेशः)
सायं प्रातश्च भगवान् दृश्यते हव्यवाहन: । मक्षिकाश्नादशंस्तत्र तपस: प्रतिघातिका:
sāyaṁ prātaś ca bhagavān dṛśyate havyavāhanaḥ | makṣikāśnād aśaṁs tatra tapasaḥ pratighātikāḥ ||
毗舍波耶那说道：“傍晚与黎明之时，人们在彼处见到可敬的火神——哈维耶瓦哈那，奉献之物的承载者。然而就在那地方，他也谈及如蝇般贪噬的障碍，冲击并阻挠苦行（tapas），警示说此类扰乱与苦患足以遮断苦行之果。”

Educational Q&A
Even sincere austerity (tapas) can be undermined by small but persistent distractions and afflictions; vigilance and steadiness are required so that practice is not ‘struck down’ by impediments.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports that Agni (Havyavāhana) is seen at dawn and dusk, and that he issues a warning about obstructive forces—likened to devouring flies—that hinder ascetic effort in that locale.
