...and once the creature is fed the mantra-consecrated food, wherever you take it, it will follow. || 38 || Now, the Adirupa Primeval Form Mantra. The mantra is: "Oṁ Namo Ādirūpāya Salutations to the Primeval Form attract such-and-such, do, do, Svāhā." This is a twenty-one-syllable mantra. Its procedure: Write this mantra on a human skull using gorochana a bright yellow pigment derived from bovine bile and saffron. Heat it over the embers of a khair acacia catechu tree at dawn, noon, and dusk. By this, the attraction of a woman, man, or animal occurs, meaning they will arrive. || 39 || Now, the Rudra a form of Shiva Mantra ritual. The first mantra is: "Oṁ Hrīṁ Ṭhaḥ Ṭhaḥ Svāhā." This is a six-syllable mantra. The second mantra is: "Oṁ Namo Bhagavate Rudrāya... The text provides a series of local vernacular curses and commands... fulfill the mantra by the command of the Goddess." This is a forty-one-syllable mantra. Its procedure: Starting on a Tuesday, chant the first six-syllable mantra one thousand times daily, and the second mantra twenty-one times. It is perfected in ten days. On the eleventh day, after performing burnt offerings, water libations, sprinkling, and feeding Brahmins, test the mantra's perfection in this way: split a reed in half and have two people hold the two ends. The practitioner should consecrate the soil from a rat's burrow, mustard seeds, and cottonseed with the mantra and strike the reed with them; if the two pieces join together, know the mantra is perfected. Then, consecrate these three items and cast them upon the clothing of the person you wish to attract; no matter how many days' journey away they are, they will arrive in that many days. There is no doubt in this. || 40 || This concludes the section on subjection mantras. || Now begins the Mohana fascination/infatuation Tantra. In the Dattatreya Tantra, the mantra is: "Oṁ Namah, perform fascination of all people, do, do, Svāhā." This is a sixteen-syllable mantra. Consecrate the materials one hundred and eight times with this mantra to perform all rituals. The Lord said: "He who applies a tilaka anointing mark on the forehead made from Tulsi seed powder mixed with the juice of the sahadevi vernonia cinerea plant on a Sunday will become a fascinator of the world. || 41 || A paste of yellow orpiment original: "haritala" and sandalwood, ground with banana juice and mixed with gorochana, makes a world-fascinating tilaka. || 42 || The practitioner should fumigate their body, clothing, and face with a combination of shringi pistacia integerrima, incense, vacha acorus calamus, and kushtha saussurea costus. By seeing them, animals, birds, subjects, and kings will become infatuated. || 43 || A tilaka made from betel leaves is also world-fascinating. || 44 || Realgar and camphor ground in banana juice; with this same technique, the tilaka is world-fascinating. || 45 || Vermilion and..."
