In that very country there is an astrologer (naekatrāla). Having gone to him, he informed the astrologer of the evil influence that there was from Senasurā [and how he had outwitted him]. Then the astrologer said, “Until the time when you die the evil influence of Senasurā over you will not be laid aside.”
The man said, “Can you tell me the place where Senasurā is [and what I must say to him]?”
The astrologer replied, “Senasurā having taken a man’s disguise and come to your house, will talk with you. Then say, ‘The evil influence of Senasurā has been over me. I did a good trick for it. I worked in both a chena and a rice field. I got the things into the corn stores. While staying here eating them I can do cultivation again [in the same way].’”
Afterwards this man came home. While he was there, on the day foretold by the astrologer Senasurā came. The man having given him sitting accommodation asked, “Where are you going?”
Then Senasurā said, “It is I indeed whom they call Senasurā, the Divine King. Because of it tell me any matter you require.”
So the man said, “What is the matter I require? I have become very poor, having been stricken by the evil influence of Senasurā. Now then, I want an assistance from you for that.”
Afterwards Senasurā, the Divine King, having given the man a book said, “Without showing this book to anybody, place it in your house. Remain here, and make obeisance [to me] three times a day, having looked and looked into [the instructions in] the book. From any journey on which you may go, from any work you may do, you will obtain victory [that is, success].”
Having said this, Senasurā, the Divine King, went away. After that, having remained there in the very manner told by Senasurā, the man became a person of much substance.
