Those men on whose body are marks of Gorochana, or who hold Vachas in their hands, or who make gifts of clarified butter with Akshata, or who place clarified butter and Akshata on their heads, or those who abstain from meat, are incapable of being afflicted by us. That man in whose house the sacred fire burns day and night without being ever extinguished or who keeps the skin or teeth of a wolf in his house or a hill-tortoise, or from whose house the sacrificial smoke is seen to curl upwards or who keeps a cat or a goat that is either tawny or black in colour, is free from our power.
