... [The mantra continues regarding the guard of Hazrat Vir]. The procedure for these two mantras: On a Tuesday at midnight, offer oil, vermilion, and red cloth to Hanuman through the mantra. Offer soaked gram pulse as a food oblation (naivedya). Afterwards, apply oil and vermilion on another piece of cloth, pierce seven needles into it while reciting the mantra with the enemy's name, place it in an earthen cup, seal the mouth, and bury it in a burial ground or a desolate place. The enemy's body will become cold (lifeless). When one wants to cure them, take out the cloth, remove the needles, and wash the cloth; they will recover. || 12 || Now, the invocation of spirits (pretavesha). The mantra is: "Om, salutations to the Lord, the Lord of ghosts, the broad-eyed, the terrible-fanged, the ferocious, the one who possesses planets, yakshas, and ghosts, O Shankar, strike [Name], strike, burn, burn, cook, cook, seize, seize, Hum Phat Svaha." This is a sixty-three-syllable mantra. Its procedure: "Take a neem wood peg, four fingers long, smear it with the enemy's hair, and write their name upon it." || 1 || "Use cemetery coal, offer incense, O Goddess; recite for three or seven nights where the name is invoked." || 2 || "On the eighth or fourteenth day of the dark fortnight, recite one hundred and eight times; the spirit seizes them quickly, say those who know the mantra." || 3 || Translation: Take a four-finger peg of neem wood, wrap the enemy's hair around it, write the enemy's name with cemetery coal using that peg, offer incense, and recite the mantra. By doing this daily from the eighth day of the dark fortnight until the fourteenth day of the next month, that enemy is possessed by a spirit. This is the word of those who know the mantras. || 13 || Now, the invocation of Durga. The mantra is: "Om, salutations to the perfected ones, by the Guru's order... O Durga, Goddess, Shri, Bhagavati, Phat..." This is a forty-five-syllable mantra. Its procedure: Write the mantra seven times on a potsherd at a crossroads. First, write the mantra on the crossroads shard, then read the second mantra and place it in the enemy's house. They will certainly be possessed, causing the enemy to suffer great pain.
