Arjuna’s Account of Tapas and the Kirāta Test; Revelation of Maheśvara and the Grant of the Pāśupata-Astra
अतः परं च वो राजन द्रक्ष्यन्ति वनगोचरा: । उपस्थास्यथन्ति वो राजन् रक्षिष्यन्ते च व: सदा,राजन्! अबसे इस वनमें रहनेवाले सब यक्ष तुमलोगोंकी देख-भाल करेंगे, तुम्हारी सेवामें उपस्थित होंगे और सदा तुम सब लोगोंके संरक्षणमें तत्पर रहेंगे
ataḥ paraṃ ca vo rājan drakṣyanti vanagocarāḥ | upasthāsyathanti vo rājan rakṣiṣyante ca vaḥ sadā rājan |
“自此以后，王啊，栖居并巡行于此林中的夜叉将为你们守望。他们将前来侍奉，并将恒常专意护卫你们。”
