Having bowed with his head, he said: "You are the protector, the Supreme Lord. Save me and the hosts of spirits in Jambudvipa in this Kali Yuga." (7)

"I will grant the desired boons of mercury, alchemy, happiness, gold, lapis lazuli, pearls, high-quality items, moon-stones and other gems, incense, clothing, food, flowers, and welfare." (8)

Unmatta Bhairava says: "I will grant you the desired boons: mercury, alchemy, happiness, gold, blue-stones, pearls, excellent goods, moon-stones and other gems, incense, clothing, food, flowers, and well-being." (8)

"We are the servants of those who chant for the King of Wrath, and the bhutinis are their handmaidens. I diligently destroy the fear of aging, misfortune, and sin, as well as the fear of kings and thieves, and all bhutas, pretas hungry ghosts, and pishachas flesh-eating demons." (9)

"I am the servant of those who chant the mantra of the King of Wrath, and the female spirits are their maids. I diligently destroy their aging, misfortunes, fears caused by sins, fear of kings and thieves, and all malevolent spirits like ghosts and demons." (9)

"If the bhutinis do not grant success to the practitioner, then I will certainly split their heads with my wrathful-thunderbolt original: "krodhavajrena", or cast them into a great, terrifying fire or hell." (10)

"If the female spirits, yakshinis, or demons do not grant such a practitioner success, then I will instantly split their heads with my wrathful-thunderbolt, or cast those spirits into fire or a great, terrifying hell." (10)

"Let it be so," the gods, including Mahadeva, said in astonishment to the King of Wrath. (11)

Mahadeva and the other gods said in astonishment to the King of Wrath: "Let it be as you have said." (11)
