7. Treating of Vashíkarana-The Art of Fascination By Use of Charms
First PrescriptionThe holy sage Vátsyáyana Muni? hath declared that whosoever will take the powder of sensitive plant, the root of green lotus-flowers, the Bassia latifolia, and barley-flower; and, after mixing it up with some of his own Káma-salila, will apply it as a sectarian mark to his forehead, such an one will subdue the world of women, and she who looks upon his brow cannot fail to feel for him the most eager of desire.Second PrescriptionThe man who will levigate the root of the giant Asclepias, the Jatámánsí, or spikenard (Valeriana jatámánsí), Vekhand, the sweet-smelling grass Nágar-motha (Cyperus ertenuis or juncifolius), and costus with the blood from a woman?s Yoní, and apply it to his forehead, shall ever be successful in the affairs of love, and shall enjoy a long course of happiness.Third PrescriptionThe man who will take equal parts of Tagar (a flowering plant, Taberna montana or Coronaria asarobacca), of Pimpalimull (the root of Piper dichotomum, or long pepper), of Mendha-shinghi (a plant whose fruit is compared with goat-horns or crab-claws), and of Indian spikenard; mix them together and knead them with honey, to which is added his Káma-salila, or with any of the other five Mala (secretions of the body); that man will find that such a mixture applied to his forehead will enable him to overcome and subdue the women of the world.The following recipe will enable a woman to attract and preserve her husband's love:- Moisten Gorochana in the blood which appears every month, and apply it to the forehead as a ?Tilak?; as long as it is there and the man looks upon it, so long shall he be in her power. The following are ?Anjan?, or magical collyriums for winning love and friendship:- FirstTake a human skull from the cemetery or burning ground on the eighth day of the moonlit fortnight of the seventh month Ashviní (September-October), expose it to fire, and collect the soot upon a plate held over it; let this be drawn over the inner surface of the eye-lids, instead of the usual antimony, and the effect will be to fascinate every one.?SecondTake bamboo-manna, Nága-keshar (Messua ferrea),? Korphad (Aloe perfoliata) and Manshíla (red sulfurate of arsenic); reduce them to powder, sift, and use a collyrium; the wearer?s eyes will attract the hearts of all.ThirdTake wood of the Tád-palm (toddy-tree), costus, and Tagar-root, levigate in water, and with the latter moisten a piece of silk stuff; convert this into wicks with Shiras-oil, light them and take the soot formed upon a human skull in a cemetery, when held above the lamp; this is a collyrium which will make every one who looks upon it the servant or slave of the wearer.FourthTake Manshíl, Nága-keshar, Kálá-umbar (the fruit of Ficus glomerosa), and bamboo-sugar, and make a collyrium when the Pushya-asterism falls upon a Sunday; its effect will be greatly to increase the mutual love of husband and wife.The following three prescriptions are powerful in reducing other persons to submission:- FirstIf a powder made of the Káng, or white panic (P. italicum), white Nishottar (Thomea turpethum), the wing of the Bhramra-bee, costus, lotus flower, and Tagar-root, be thrown upon a man, it will at once have the effect of fascination.SecondIf a powder, made of Vatálu leaves, of Soma-vallí (the moon-plant, Asclepias acida, or Sarcostema viminalis), and of a garland or rosary placed upon a dead body, and mingled with a little of the man?s own Káma-salila, be thrown upon a person, the latter will be surely subdued.ThirdIf a powder, made with equal quantities of the Sátavina Vrisksha (the ?seven-flowered tree,? Astonia scholaris, or echites), of the Rudrasha, Eleocarpus lanceolatus or ganitrus, a tree sacred to Shiva), and of the seeds of San (Bengal ?sun?), be used as before, it will have even a greater effect. This is perhaps the most potent compound for fascinating others.A Philter-Pill (Vatika)On any Tuesday, take out the bowels of the blue jay (Coracias indica), and let some of the fascinator?s own Káma-salila be placed inside the body; put the latter into an earthen pot, cover it with a second pot whose bottom must be turned upwards, lute with cloth and clay, and keep in a solitary place for seven days; then take out the contents,? pound, reduce to fine powder, make pellets, or pills, and dry them. If one of these be given to a woman, she will be subject to a man, and vice versa.Another CharmThe man who, after enjoying his wife, catches some of his own Káma-salila in his left hand, and applies it to her left foot, will find her entirely submissive to his will.Another CharmThe woman who before congress will touch with her left foot the Linga of her husband, and will make a practice of this, undoubtedly subdues him, and makes him her slave for life.Another CharmLet a man take the egesta of the spotted-necked pigeon; rock-salt, and the leaves of the Bassia latifolia in equal parts, powder them, and rub the powder upon his Linga before congress, he will become the woman?s master.Another CharmLet a man levigate together Kásturí (common musk, also applied to a kind of camphor) and wood of the yellow Tetu-tree; mix them with honey two months old, and apply the substance to his Linga before congress, it will have the same effect.A Fascinating Incense, or FumigationPound well together sandal-wood, Kunku (red powder prepared from turmeric and alum colored with lemon-juice and other matters), costus, Krishna-gurû (black sanders), Suvásika-pushpa (perfumed flowers?), white válá (the fragrant Andropogon muricatum) and the bark of the Deodaru pine; and, after reducing them to fine powder, mix it with honey and thoroughly dry. It is now known as Chinta-mani-Dhupa, the ?thought-mastering incense.? If a little of this be used according to the ceremonies prescribed, he who employs it will make all the world submissive to him.Another IncensePound and mix together equal quantities of cardamom-seeds, Olibanum (or gum benzoin), the plant Garur-wel Moon-seed, Monispermum glabrum, or Cocculus cardifolius, sandal-wood, the flowers of the eared jasmine, and Bengal madder. This incense is powerful as that above. The following are the Mantras, or magical versets which have the power of fascination:-1. Kámeshwar MantraO Kámeshwar, bring such and such a woman under subjection to me.The form of use is as follows;-Accompany the word Kámeshwar with the mystic ?Om,? or Pranava. Then let the woman?s name precede the words, A?naya! A?naya! and follow with the Bija (the seed, or cabalistic conclusion.) The charm is repeated mentally 10,000 times, counted by a string (rosary) of 108 Kadamba blossoms (Nauclea cadamoa), or those of the Palasa (Butea frondosa). The sacrifice or offering consists of burning the same kind of flowers, counting a tenth part of the number of repetition, that is to say, one thousand. Thus the Mantra-devatá is brought under our power.? One of the flowers, which has been charmed by this verset being recited over it, is finally given to the woman whose name has been pronounced, and thus her subjugation is effected. 2. Chámunda Mantra?Repeat the Mantra mentally a lakh of times (100,000) with the Pranava. Sacrifice 10,000 flowers of the Butea frondosa, at the same time offering the Tarpana? (or presenting water to the object of worship). When the ceremonies and works of propitiation are performed, the Mantra-devatá is subdued, and the woman is fascinated by a gift of a flower over which the verset has been repeated seven times.3. The Mantra That Subdues the PadminíRepeat this Mantra, with the Pravana, till the Mantra-devatá has been mastered.? Then write this Kameshvara-Mantra upon a betel-leaf with the flower steeped in honey, choosing Sunday for the act. Finally, after repeating the same Mantra a hundred times, give the flower to the Padminí, who will undoubtedly be subdued.4. The Madanastra-Mantra That Subdues the ChitriníRepeat this Mantra with Pranava (10,000-100,000 times) till the deity which it contains is mastered. Then moisten nutmeg-powder in the juice squeezed from the root of the plantain tree, place it in a roll of betel-leaf which has been charmed by repeating over it the Mantra on Sunday, and let the Chitriní woman eat it.? She will certainly be subjected.5. The Mantra That Subdues the ShankhiníIt is said by the ancient learned men conversant with the science of fascination, that this Mantra is exceedingly efficacious. After the Mantra-devatá is subdued in the usual manner, let the root of the Tagar and cocoa-nut, or the Belfruit (Aegle marmaros, or Crataera religiosa, a tree sacred to Shiva) be charmed and given to the Shankhiní; if she eat any part of it, she is subject to obedience.6. The Mantra That Subdues the HastiníAfter subduing the Mantra-devatá, pound the wing of a pigeon? in honey, make pills of it, and administer to the Hastiní, who will at once become fascinated. |
