Rh break him like paste of grain: in the fury of thy rage, with red eyes glare upon him! with thy red eyes destroy him utterly ! make him burst at the sight of thine eyeballs! Bhagavatí! mighty Mother! Kártta-vírya-jayí !"

Let the above spell be reiterated a thousand times. The mode of using it will now be shewn.

Select a cemetery on the east of the village, and on a Sunday at night go and view it : walk seven times round the cemetery and stand at the north east of the ground walk thence into the middle of the cemetery, turn to the west; walk seven steps backwards and then strip naked: take sacred white earth (vibhúti) in your left hand, bind it in a knot in a yellow cloth, with frankincense; which must be in the same cloth: conceal it in cotton: do not put it in their houses but hide it in any temple erected to the evil goddesses (Çakti). When the due occasion comes, draw the (Çakti-circle) magic figure of the goddess: and put a gold coin in her mouth with a slip of the tuḷasí plant. Recite the prayer twenty-seven times pouring water over it.

[The next word anturiyam has no meaning and seems to be an error for avasaram "at the proper time."]

At the proper time bring water from the well and mingle the sacred ashes therein and recite the spell 27 times. Then drink that water. If you drink it all he will die instantly.
