52 - Rites for enslaving, fascinating etc.

The sages said:

1-5. The Vajreshvari Vidya of Brahma which rendered help to Indra has been heard by us. We have also heard about the affairs of the kings realized through this Vidya. O Romaharshana, now recount the mode of application of this Vidya for different purposes.

Suta said:

The various applications of Savitri mantra are for enslaving, attracting, causing hatred, exorcising, paralysing, deluding, beating, extirpating, splitting, killing hindering, stunning the army and similar activities.

Mantra: “May the Goddess, the bestower of the boon come down to the earth on the top of the mountain. O Goddess, permitted on behalf of the brahmins go comfortably”. O brahmins, it is only after taking leave of the earth by this mantra, one should know that she is to go and not otherwise.

6-7. After performing all the preliminary external rites and the rites of enslaving etc. he shall ritualistically dismiss the deity. Then he shall kindle another sacred fire duly. He shall invoke the goddess once again, perform Japa and worship too. He shall duly perform Homa too over again in the fire.

8. Then he shall accomplish the holy rites with the same mantra. He who seeks ability to enslave others shall perform thirty thousand Homas by means of Jati flowers.

9-13. O brahmins, in the rite of attracting, Homa shall be performed with ghee and Karavira flower. In the rite of causing hatred, Homa shall be performed with Langalaka flower. The rite of exorcising shall be performed with oil; the rite of paralysing shall be by means of honey; the rite of deluding with gingelly seeds, that of beating with the blood of a donkey or elephant or camel. The rite of paralysing shall be performed with mustard seeds. The rite of tearing up shall be performed with Kusha grass. O sages of good holy rites, the rite of killing and exorcising with Rohi ³¹⁹ seeds, the rite of binding with Ahipatra ³²⁰ and that of making the army stunned with Kunati ³²¹ (trumpet flower). Then he shall perform the worship of Parameshvari with ghee, for the achievement of all Siddhis. Purification is obtained by Homa with milk pudding.

319-321. Rohi, Ahipatra and Kunati. Some particular plants are intended.

14-16. The destruction of ailments is caused by gingelly seeds; wealth can be gained through lotus; splendour with Madhuka flower, Homas in each case being thirty thousand in number, repeating the Savitri mantra. All the rites beginning with Jaya and ending with Svishta shall be performed as before.

Thus the application of mantras which is very vast has been succinctly mentioned to you. Or one can repeat mantra alone after worshipping in accordance with the injunctions. Even then he shall attain all Siddhis. No doubt need be entertained in this respect.
