Lomasha said: One day in the month of Vaisaka Yavakrit, while fearlessly wandering about, came to the hermitage of Raibhya.

O descendant of Bharata, he saw in that charming hermitage adorned with blossoming trees the daughter-in-law of Raibhya who was like a Kinnari.

Having lost his sense through desire, he shamelessly spoke to that bashful maiden saying, “Be attached to me."

Knowing his character and fearing his course and thinking (also) of the great power of Raibhya, she said, “Be it so" (then) and she went to him.

O descendant of Bharata, then taking him in private, she kept him hidden. O chastiser of foes, (some time after) Raibhya returned to his hermitage.

O Yudhishthira, seeing his daughter-in-law, Paravasu's wife in tears, he consoled her with sweet words and asked her the cause of her grief,

That blessed damsel told him all that Yavakrit had spoken to her and also what she herself had cleverly said to him.

Having heard of this gross misbehaviour of Yavakrit, Raibhya's heart burnt as if in fire and he was filled with great anger.

Thereupon that great ascetic of wrathful temper, inflamed with anger, tore off a matted lock of his head and with proper rites offered it to the fire.

Thereupon rose out of it a female exactly resemble his daughter-in-law. He then again tore off another lock and offered it to the fire.

Thereupon rose out of it a fearful Rakshasha of fearful eyes. Those two then spoke thus to Raivya, “What are we to do?"

Thereupon the Rishi said to them in anger, “Go and kill Yavakrit.” (Having been thus ordered) those two said, “Be it to” and went away with the intention of killing Yavakrit.

O descendant of Bharata, the female whom the high-souled Rishi created robbed with her charms the sacred water-pot of Yavakrit.

The Rakshasha with uplifted spear rushed upon Yavakrit who was robbed of his waterpot and who had thus become unclean.

Seeing him coming with the uplifted spear with the intention of killing him, Yavakrit suddenly rose and ran towards a tank.

Having seen that tank to be without water, Yavakrit went to all the rivers, but they too all were dried up.

Being pursued by the fearful Rakshasha with the uplifted spear, he in great fear, tried to enter his father's room of the sacred fire.

O king, he was there repulsed by a blind Shudra door-keeper; and he was stopped at the door and grasped by the man.

Having been thus stopped by the Shudra, (he stood motionless) and that Rakshasha hurled his spear at Yavakrit who then fell down pierced in the heart.

Having killed Yavakrit, that Rakshasha came back to Raivya; and being ordered by Raivya, he lived (there) with his wife (that female).
