नगर अभ्याशे वा चैत्यम् आरुह्य रात्रौ तीक्ष्णाः कुम्भेषु नालीन् वा विदुलानि धमन्तः "स्वामिनो मुख्यानां वा मांसानि भक्षयिष्यामः, पूजा नो वर्तताम्" इत्य् अव्यक्तं ब्रूयुः ॥

Getting into an altar at night in the vicinity of the capital city of the enemy and blowing through tubes or hollow reeds the fire contained in a few pots, some fiery spies may shout aloud: "We are going to eat the flesh of the king or of his ministers; let the worship of the gods go on."
