Kautilya's Arthashastra 14.3.46

14.3.46

sukhaṃ svapantu śunakā ye ca grāme kutūhalāḥ /
sukhaṃ svapantu siddhārthā yam arthaṃ mārgayāmahe /
yāvad astam ayād udayo yāvad arthaṃ phalaṃ mama //

Chanting the sacred mantras, I do take the pith or the bone of the corpse (savasárika) productive of my desired ends--may S'alaka demons be victorious; salutation to them; oblation!--May the dogs which are anxiously keeping watch over the village fall into deep and happy slumber.

May all prophets (siddhártháh) fall into happy sleep about the object which we are seeking from sunset to sunrise and till the attainment of my desired end. Oblation!
