Sanskrit Original
भूतं त्विदं मंहद्द्वारि नागराणां प्रयच्छति। प्रीत्या वरांश्च शतशो न किञ्चिन्नः प्रयच्छति।।
bhūtaṃ tvidaṃ maṃhaddvāri nāgarāṇāṃ prayacchati| prītyā varāṃśca śataśo na kiñcinnaḥ prayacchati||
Sūta said:: He thought thus:—“This great Bhūta (Goblin, Spirit) at the gateway grants hundreds of boons with great pleasure, to the citizens. But he does not give us anything. He is always being worshipped by my own people in my own city. He has been requested by the queen many times for sons, but he has not granted a son. Really he is ungrateful despite eating a lot. Hence, he does not deserve at all any worship from me. Therefore, I shall destroy the abode of that wicked being”.
