स्ववासनानुसारेण सर्व आस्पदमीहते ।
सूचित्वमेव राक्षस्या सूचीत्वेनास्पदीकृतम् ॥ २९ ॥

svavāsanānusāreṇa sarva āspadamīhate |
sūcitvameva rākṣasyā sūcītvenāspadīkṛtam || 29 ||

Every one aspires to a state according to his natural propensity; as the inclination of the Rakshasi led her to choose the needleship upon herself.
