Heard Kubera’s words,
They went throughout the four directions.
They called out loudly to the guhyakas:

“O Sage! May the assemblies of bhūtas in the east,
Twenty-eight bhūtas,
Grahas born from gandharvas,
Obey me!
By means of the sūtra noose
They are all bound by the five fetters!¹³

“O Sage! May the assemblies of bhūtas in the south,
Twenty-eight bhūtas,
Grahas born from kumbhāṇḍas,
Obey me!
By means of the sūtra noose,
They are all bound by the five fetters!

“O Sage! May the assemblies of bhūtas in the west,
Twenty-eight bhūtas,
Grahas born from nāgas,
Obey me!
By means of the sūtra noose,
They are all bound by the five fetters!

“O Sage! May the assemblies of bhūtas in the north,
Twenty-eight bhūtas,
Grahas born from yakṣas,
Obey me!
By means of the sūtra noose,
They are all bound by the five fetters!
