2. ये जादुगर अपनी छोटी मूर्तियों और जादू का उपयोग भविष्य की घटनाओं को जानने के लिए करते हैं, किन्तु यह सब व्यर्थ है। वे लोग दर्शन करते हैं और अपने स्वपनों के बारे में कुछ कहते हैं, किन्तु यह सब व्यर्थ झुठ के अलावा कुछ नहीं हैं। अत: लोग भेङों की तरह इधर —उधर सहायता के लिये पुकारते हुए भटक रहे हैं। किन्तु उनको रास्ता दिखाने वाला कोई गङेरया नहीं।

HOV
2. क्योंकि गृहदेवता अनर्थ बात कहते और भावी कहने वाले झूठा दर्शन देखते और झूठे स्वपन सुनाते, और व्यर्थ शान्ति देते हैं। इस कारण लोग भेड़-बकरियों की नाईं भटक गए; और चरवाहे न होने के कारण दुर्दशा में पड़े हैं॥
