41 - Mantras to obtain Woman

Vasudeva said:

1. Om there is a Gandharva Vishvavasu¹ the lord of girls. I am getting him for thy sake. After begetting a girl Sváha unto Vishvavasu. Acquisition of girls by the recitation of this mantra. Now I shall describe the Night-mare (Kalarātri).

1. The legendary chief of the Gandharvas.

2. Om obeisance unto thee, Goddess Rukshakarni (Bearu- eared), having four arms, hair tied up, three-eyed one. Kalaratri feeding on fat and blood of men, giver of death to so and so whom god of death has approached. Hum Phat. Kill, kill; burn, burn; digest, digest flesh and blood. Svaha unto thee, O Rukshapatni (wife of the constellation 'Great Bear'). Neither the day of the lunar fortnight nor star nor fasting is being stipulated.

3. The devotee in all fury shall smear blood over his hands, lift the phallic emblem and strike the unbaked clay pot. Om obeisance! all round are these Yantras (mechanical devices) such as Jambhani (the yawning), Mohani (the charming) and Sarvashatruvidarini (tearer of all enemies); protect me-so and so protect me from all fear and harassments, Svaha unto thee. When Shukra is destroyed after the japa has been performed twice, I shall explain further.

Summary of chapter 41 of the Garuda Mahā Purana - Achara Khaṇḍa is as follows:

Bhagavān Vishṇu reveals the profound spiritual merit obtained by participating in Āratika, the ceremonial waving of lighted lamps before the deity. The text illustrates how viewing the illuminated divine form dispels mental darkness, bestows auspiciousness, and fills the home with divine light.
