यदा न खलु यज्ञस्य विघ्नकर्ता महाबलौ॥ तेन संचोदितौ तौ तु राक्षसौ च महाबलौ। मारीचश्च सुबाहुश्च यज्ञविघ्नं करिष्यतः॥

yadā na khalu yajñasya vighnakartā mahābalau|| tena saṃcoditau tau tu rākṣasau ca mahābalau| mārīcaśca subāhuśca yajñavighnaṃ kariṣyataḥ||

English Meaning

When that one possessed of mighty strength does not stoop to disturb the sacrifice himself, those powerful Raksasas, Marica and Subāhu, being incited by him, disturb the rites.
