"प्रतिरोधक आटविकयोः प्रतिरोधका रात्रि सत्त्र चराः शरीर आक्रमिणो नित्याः शत सहस्र अहपारिणः प्रधान कोपकाश् च व्यवहिताः प्रत्यन्तर अरण्य चराश् च आटविकाः प्रकाशा दृस्याश् चरन्ति, एक देश घातकाश् च" इत्य् आचार्याः ॥

My teacher says that of robbers and wild tribes, robbers are ever bent on carrying off women at night, make assaults on persons, and take away hundreds and thousands of panas, whereas wild tribes, living under a leader and moving in the neighbouring forests can be seen here and there causing destruction only to a part.
