सप्तरात्रम् इति निश्चयाश् च ये ये पि ते निरयदारुणालया ।
ये च प्रेतभवनेषु प्राणिनो ते भवन्ति सुखिताश् च नाम ॥ ३६ ॥
saptarātram iti niścayāś ca ye ye pi te nirayadāruṇālayā |
ye ca pretabhavaneṣu prāṇino te bhavanti sukhitāś ca nāma || 36 ||
Those who are under doom of death in seven nights, those who dwell in the pitiless hells, and those in the world of ghosts, all become glad and happy. (36)
