There, the gods, looking for an opportunity, attack a man of pure conduct skilled in austerities and self-study, mostly on the first and thirteenth days of the waxing moon; sages [attack] one devoted to bathing, purity, and solitude, proficient in statements of the Dharmaśāstras and Vedas, mostly on the sixth and ninth days; ancestors [attack] one devoted to serving mother, father, elders, the aged, accomplished adepts, and teachers, mostly on the tenth day and the new moon; gandharvas [attack] one who delights in praises, song, and music, is fond of other men's wives, fragrances, and garlands, and of clean conduct, mostly on the twelfth and fourteenth days; yakṣas [attack] one endowed with mental fortitude, strength, beauty, pride, and valor, fond of garlands, ointments, and jesting, and excessively talkative, mostly on the eleventh and seventh days of the waxing moon; brahmarākṣasas [attack] one who dislikes self-study, austerity, observances, fasting, celibacy, and worship of gods, ascetics, and elders, whose purity has lapsed, whether a brāhmaṇa or a non-brāhmaṇa claiming to be a brāhmaṇa, who imagines himself a hero, and who delights in playing in temples and water, mostly on the fifth day of the waxing moon and on seeing the full moon; but rakṣases and piśācas [attack] one of weak fortitude, malicious, womanizing, greedy, and deceitful, mostly on the second, third, and eighth days; thus these eight most manifest afflictors out of countless numbers have been explained.
