by an Ekshi ( female demon who
waylays passerby’s and
drinks their blood) in |

guise of a enchanting woman.
The thirumeni who was well versed
in the Manthras , saw through
the ruse ad did not respond

the thirumeni. The thirumeni’s
faith, devotion and knowledge
of the Vedas helped him escape
the clutches of the witch unharmed.
