“That house is thy temple, O goblin, where thorny trees grow, and where leguminous plants creep about, and where the wife is a re-married widow, and ant-hills are found. That house is thy dwelling, wherein live five men, and three women, and as many cows, and where the fire from the fuel is mere darkness. Thou shalt quickly, O goblin, parch up the house, which contains one goat, two asses, three cattle, five buffaloes,[36] six horses, and seven elephants. Wherever a spade, a dā,[37] a basket, and also a caldron and other utensils are scattered about, they may give thee shelter. Sitting by women on the wooden pestle and mortar, and also upon udumbara wood,[38] and the utterance of sacred verses at the privy, this shall be advantageous for thee, O goblin. Roam, O Duḥsaha, to thy heart’s content, in that house where all kinds of corn whether cooked or uncooked, and where the scriptures also are disdained. Endless misfortunes take up their abode in that house, where fire lies upon the lid of the caldron or is offered with the point of a spoon. Thou, O goblin, and other Rākṣasas also shall have a dwelling in the house, where human bones lie and where a corpse remains a whole day and night. Resort at once to those men who feed on a kinsman’s piṇḍa and water, without giving any to the sapiṇḍas and sahodakas.
