Mantra Maharnava (Khemraj Edition, 1924)

...with rice grains mixed with sesame, salt, and sweet substances, along with beautiful fruits and red lotuses, one should perform homa sacrificial fire ritual for three days. || 2 || Through this, from the learned brahmin downwards, all social classes original: "varna" come under one's control within a month. Meditating upon the Goddess who resides in the center of the solar disc, while chanting the mantra, one should perform the offering original: "huta" one hundred and eight times in the fire; by this, one gains control over the world. || 3 || In another Tantra: By sprinkling flower-infused water original: "pushpanjana" along with sandalwood and other substances, sanctified by the root mantra, upon whoever it is given, that person comes under one’s control. || 4 || Another: At night, writing the name of a desirable woman original: "snigdha-stri" on the center of the left thigh with turmeric, and holding it in the left hand while chanting one hundred or one thousand times, one attracts the beloved woman. || 5 || Thus ends the ritual of the sixty-syllable Trilokyamohana Gauri Mantra.
