Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Svāyambhuva Manu was thus in a trance, chanting the mantras of Vedic instruction known as the Upaniṣads. Upon seeing him, the Rākṣasas and asuras, being very hungry, wanted to devour him. Therefore they ran after him with great speed.

Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Seeing Svāyambhuva Manu chant the mantras with concentration, the hungry demons attacked him in order to eat him.
Seeing him in samādhi chanting the mantras of this Upaniṣad, and thinking he was a helpless person in deep sleep, demons approached him to eat him, because they were hungry.
