And at the great annual worship that is performed in autumn time, the man, who listens filled with faith to this poem of my majesty, shall assuredly through my favour be delivered from every trouble, and be blessed with riches, grain and children. From listening to this poem of my majesty moreover come splendid issues and prowess in battles, and a man becomes fearless.[4] When men listen to this poem of my majesty, enemies pass to destruction, and prosperity acorues and their family rejoices. Let a man listen to this poem of my majesty everywhere, at a ceremony for securing tranquillity, and after seeing an ill-dream and when planets are greatly eclipsed. Thereby portents turn into calm, and also dreadful eclipses of the planets, and also an ill-dream which men have seen; and a sweet dream appears. It produces peacefulness in children who have been possessed by the demon that seizes children,[5] and it is the best promoter of friendship among men when union is dissolved; it is the most potent diminisher of the power of all men of ill livelihood; verily through reading it, comes the destruction of Rākṣasas, goblins and Piśācas. All this poem of my majesty brings aman near unto me.
