One who yearns for the eternal, the beloved, the wise companion Purandara, is freed from every sin, whether suffering or not. Such is the power of devotion and aspiration. By reciting daily the sixteen Ṛgvedic hymns dedicated to Indra, and repeating the sacred utterance "hihaṇyastūpam," one gains victory over adversaries. If, each day, a person intones the six fierce hymns to Īśāna, he finds safety and assurance wherever he travels. Alternatively, by preparing a potent oblation and worshipping the sun at its rising and setting, supreme peace is attained. Seven handfuls of water, offered with devotion, wash away mental sorrow; as one recites "dviṣantam" and half a verse, he remembers the wisdom imparted by the ancient sages. Even for one who has erred, reconciliation is found within seven nights by reciting the supreme mantra meant for the fallen, whether seeking health or burdened by affliction. Let him recite the finest half-verse in varied postures; at sunrise, this brings unending life, and at midday, inexhaustible energy. At sunset, reciting "dviṣantam" wards off adversaries, while the "na vayaś" hymns restrain all enemies. By chanting the eleven suparṇa hymns, all desires are fulfilled; if he regards these as pertaining to his very self, liberation is assured. The hymn "ā no bhadrā" bestows long life, while "tvaṃ sīma" grants the vision of the new moon. Approaching with fuel in hand, one secures garments, and by reciting the Kautsa hymn "imam" with the wish for longevity, life is extended. Praising the sun at midday with "āpanaḥ śośucad" enables one to cast off sin just as the sun sheds its rays. Reciting "jātavedasa" while journeying ensures auspiciousness, removes all fears, and brings well-being at home. At dawn and at night, these practices dispel evil dreams; "pramandineti sūyantyā" grants release from the womb. Bathing while reciting "indram" and the seven "śvadeva" hymns, and offering clarified butter, a man is cleansed of all sin. Through the hymn "imām," one’s wishes are always fulfilled. With "mānastoka," after a three-night fast in purity, and by reciting both hymns, he should offer udumbara wood and fuel consecrated with ghee; thus, all bonds of death are severed, and he lives free from disease. Praising Śambhu with "ūrdhvavāhur" and reciting "mānastoka" when tying the topknot, one becomes invincible among all beings, free from doubt. Let him worship the sun at the three sacred junctions of the day, marveling at its wonder. The one who holds sacrificial sticks in hand always attains his desired wealth. Reciting "Atha Svapna" every morning and midday, he banishes all evil dreams and obtains auspicious food. By reciting "Ubhay Pumaan," he is hailed as a destroyer of demons. The verse "Ubhay Vasa" brings fulfillment of desires, while "Na Saagann" protects from the harm of enemies. "Kaya Shubhe" ensures excellence of birth, and "Imam Nṛsomam" fulfills every wish. He should honor the ancestors for present needs, and with the hymn "Agne Naya" and offerings of ghee into the sacred fire, he follows the righteous path. One who recites "Viran Nayam" always gains renowned offspring, and with "Sankato Neti," all poisons are dispelled. The hymn "Yo Jata" brings all desires, while "Gananam" bestows supreme and lasting affection. For the removal of evil dreams, or when setting out or facing a rising enemy, the verse "Yo Me Rajan" is recited—whether the times are favorable or not. At all sacred junctions, if he remains pure and recites the twenty-second, supreme spiritual hymn, all his wishes are granted. With focused mind, he offers clarified butter while reciting "Kṛṇuṣva," taking away the life of adversaries and destroying demons. He worships the fire himself, relinquishing it day by day, and that fire protects him in all directions. Reciting "Hamsaḥ Shuchiḥ," he gazes upon the radiant, pure Sun. When beginning agricultural work, he offers the cooked oblation in the center of the field, as prescribed, with five invocations, each ending with "Svaha." To Indra, the Maruts, Parjanya, and Bhaga, the ploughman offers honor, moving the plough in reverence. For grain and for Sita, with a well-formed furrow, he worships these deities with fragrances, garlands, and salutations. At the times of sowing, covering, and protecting the furrow, the ritual never fails, and agriculture flourishes. The "Samudra" hymn brings forth desired blessings from the fire; the two "Vishvanara" verses make him worthy of the sacred fire. Thus, he crosses all misfortune, attains undying fame, amasses abundant wealth, and wins unsurpassed victory. By praising with "Agni, you are," desired wealth is obtained, and those who long for children should always recite the three Varuṇa hymns. For well-being, the three morning hymns are recited, upholding the great rite of well-being. Saying, "May the path be auspicious," he journeys forth in safety. One who wishes to conquer recites "O Lord of the Forests" to destroy his enemies; for a woman with an obstructed womb, this ensures excellent release of the fetus. Thus, through these sacred practices, hymns, and offerings, one’s life is sanctified, protected, and fulfilled, as taught by the wise.
