“Those who attack the dharmabhāṇaka,
The way that they are following
Is the way of those who kill their mothers;
It is the way of those who kill their fathers. {2}

“Those who attack the dharmabhāṇaka,
The way that they are following
Is the way of the crushers of sesame;
It is the way of those with the sesame pestle. {3}

“Those who attack the dharmabhāṇaka,
The way that they are following
Is the way of those who are fraudulent in weights,
The way of those who are fraudulent in measures.” {4}

Kuntī and the other rākṣasīs said to the Bhagavān, “In this way we will protect the dharmabhāṇakas. We will bring them good fortune, prevent punishments, and counter poisons.”

The Bhagavān said to the rākṣasīs, “Excellent, O rākṣasīs, excellent! Protect, guard, and conceal those dharmabhāṇakas! You, Kuntī, and your followers should protect even those who only possess the name of this Dharma teaching, let alone those who have learned the entirety of this Dharma teaching, have made texts of it, have honored them, and offered to those texts flowers, incense, perfume, garlands, ointments, powders, clothing, parasols, banners, divine flags, lamps of sesame oil, lamps of ghee, lamps of perfumed oil, lamps of magnolia oil, lamps of gardenia oil, lamps of blue lotus oil, and lamps of royal jasmine oil, honoring them with hundreds of thousands of many kinds of offering such as those. You, Kuntī, and your followers should protect them!”
