Agni Purāṇa

297 - The remedial mantra that would remove poison

Agni said:

1-2. “Om, obeisance to Lord Rudra! You cut down venom! (Obeisance) to the wielder of an axe of fire in his hand! Obeisance to Lord Rudra in the form of the bird (Garuda)! You make the bitten person get up!shiake him up! Make him converse! Rouse up the person bitten by the serpent! Make him dangle! Bind him! Release him! Oh! The Excellent Rudra! You go, strike, bend, make noise and frighten and destroy the poison with your fist! Țha! Țha !" 

The poison gets destroyed by the repetition of the mantra of the bird. “Om! Obeisance to Lord Rudra! Destroy all kinds of poison-vegetable or animal, artificial or natural, primary or secondary! Destroy different kinds of poison! Destroy the venom in the bitten person! Subdue! Eject! You become free from poison by theshowers of darkness in the form of the clouds. Destroy! Go forth! You neutralise the poison by ejecting it.” The poison would be controlled with the repetition of this mantra. "Om! Throw away! Om Throw away! Oblations! Om, hrám, hrim, khim, saḥ, tham, draum, hrim, thaḥ !" Being accomplished by the repetition, one would be able to bind the serpents always. One could accomplish all things (by the repetition of the mantra): “Obeisance to the beloved of milk-maids” having one, two, three or four letters and having the disc of Krishņa as the fifth part. 

3-4a. "On, obeisance to Lord Rudra, the lord of ghosts! Listen! Make sound! Make to rotate! Release! Stupefy! Manifest! Enter! Golden bird! Rudra makes known! Tha!" This mantra known as the agitator of hell would destroy the poison when repeated. A person bitten by a snakeshould cauterize with log or stone for subduing the poison immediately after being bitten. The bitten part of the bodyshould be cauterized with burning red lotus etc. 

4b-5a. The drinking or besmearing or collyrium of the three pungent things-seeds of sirisha flower, arka flower and ksird seeds would destroy the poison. 

5b-6a. There is no doubt that the white pepper mixed with the essence of the sirisha flower would remove poison when drunk or used as sternutatory or collyrium. 

6b-7. The three pungent things, koshātaki, vacā and asafoetida mixed with the niilk of sirisha and arka and the mesha mixed with water would remove the poison when used as a sternutatory. The powder of asafoetida and all parts of ikṣhvāku uscd as a sternutatory would remove the poison. 

8. The expressed juice of indrabala, agnika, droņa, tulasi, devika and sahā mixed with the powder of the three pungent things when eaten would remove the poison. The five parts of the širisha eaten on the fifth (lunar day) of the dark (fortnight) would remove the poison.
