सत्त्रि प्रयोगाद् ऊर्ध्वं सिद्ध व्यञ्जना माणवान् माणव विद्याभिः प्रलोभयेयुः, प्रस्वापन अन्तर् धान द्वार अपोह मन्त्रेण प्रतिरोधकान्, संवदन मन्त्रेण पारतल्पिकान् ॥
ON availing themselves of the opening made by ordinary spies sent in advance, special spies pretending to be endowed with supernatural powers may, under the pretence of knowing such incantations as cause rapid speed in running away, or render persons invisible, or cause hard fastened doors to open, induce highway robbers to robbery; and may under the pretence of knowing such incantations as secure the love of women, entice adulterers to take part in criminal actions planned for the purpose of proving their criminal intentions.
english translation
तेषां कृत उत्साहानां महान्तं संघम् आदाय रात्राव् अन्यं ग्रामम् उद्दिश्य अन्यं ग्रामं कृतक स्त्री पुरुषं गत्वा ब्रूयुः "इह एव विद्या प्रभावो दृश्यतां, कृच्छ्रः पर ग्रामो गन्तुम्" इति ॥
On taking these enthusiasts thus induced to a village, where persons under the guise of women and men are previously stationed and which is different from the one intended to be reached, the youths may be told that it is difficult to reach in time the village aimed at and that the power of incantation may be seen then and there alone.
