Accordingly, “By striking of all the mṛdaṅgas with the movement of svastika hands, one should play the duṣkarakaraṇā-jāti in all their tempos. Duṣkarakaraṇā-jāti should include syllables like duṇā duṇo duṇā kiṃka dhima ghoṅ ghoṭeṅ madatthidugakiṭi ghoṅ. Duṣkarakaraṇā-jāti should be applied in case of movements of Daitya kings, chiefs, Nāgas (bhujaga), Rākṣasas, Piśācas, Gandharvas, and Guhyakas, etc.”.
