Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

A men-watcher, do thou look around for the demon among the people (vikṣú); crush back his three points (ágra); crush, O Agni, his ribs with flame (háras); cut up threefold the root of the sorcerer.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
