In the sacred Garuda Purana, wondrous teachings are revealed, offering wisdom for health, power, and mastery of the world. The narrative unfolds with practical secrets and potent rituals, each prescribed with reverence and precision. It is said that binding a certain substance upon the hand destroys piles without doubt; when combined with the urine of vishnukranta, it offers protection from thieves and wild beasts. The roots of brahmadandi are renowned for accomplishing all tasks, while the powder of triphala, mixed with ghee, destroys leprosy. For respiratory ailments or for aiding conception, ghee prepared with punarnava, bilva, and pippali, when drunk, cures hiccup, asthma, and cough, and induces conception in women. Alternatively, eating nari-bija cooked with milk and ghee, mixed with sugar and ghee, ensures inexhaustible semen. A blend of vidaṅga, madhuka, patha, mamsi, sarjarasa, haridra, triphala, apamarga, and manashila, along with udumbara and dhataki pounded with sesame oil, when applied to the yoni and linga, brings mutual pleasure to woman and man. Reciting the mantra, 'Salutations to the Lord, the bestower of boons, the attractor, the drawer, O charming one, svaha!' while applying this oil, marks of pleasure arise, O Shankara. For rejuvenation, punarnava, amrita, durva, gold, and indravaruni are pressed to extract their juice. This extract, placed in the heart of a crucible and incinerated, when mixed with honey, ghee, and milk, destroys wrinkles and gray hair. To create silver, honey, ghee, jaggery, copper, and the juice of bitter gourd are burned together. For gold, dhattura flower and lead, each a pala in weight, and the branch of langalika are burned, producing gold. A lamp lit with dhattura seed oil renders a meditating person invisible, even if seated in the sky. A curious ritual involves tying a frog to a clay bull; restrained thus, if joined with conch parts and made to smell incense, the frog croaks and acts with wonder like a bull. At night, lighting a lamp with mustard oil and the khadyo insect produces a flame as bright as fire. The powder of chuchundari, when burned and applied with Rudra, soothes burns instantly; sandalwood brings healing, and both drinking and applying it provide comfort. Anointing the eyes with the rut of an elephant grants victory in battle and exceptional bravery. Holding the tooth of a Dundubha snake in the mouth while entering water allows one to remain there without distress, just as on land. Combining the eyes, fangs, bones, and blood of a crocodile with fat and oil, and applying this, enables one to stay in water for three days. Similarly, mixing the eyes of a crocodile, the heart of a tortoise, the fat and bones of a mouse, and the fat of a porpoise, and applying it, allows one to remain in water comfortably. For anemia, iron powder taken with buttermilk is effective; the root of tanduliya and gokshura, taken with milk, are also beneficial. The juice of lotus and similar plants cures mouth diseases; the root of jati with buttermilk and kola root relieve indigestion. Satakra, kushamala, or the root of markati, and the root of bakuchi with sour gruel, cure tooth ailments. The root of indravaruni taken with water removes poisons; the root of surabhika, when drunk, destroys all such afflictions. A paste of gunja powder with sour gruel applied to the head cures head diseases; bala, atibala, and yashti, mixed with sugar and honey, are also beneficial. Drinking these causes conception in the barren without doubt: the root of white aparajita with long pepper and dry ginger. When ground and applied to the head, it destroys headache; drinking the tip of nirgundi removes glandular swelling. The alkali from ketaki leaves, eaten with jaggery, or sharapunkha with buttermilk, destroys spleen disorders. The juice of matulanga mixed with jaggery and ghee, when taken, destroys pains caused by wind and bile; dry ginger, black salt, and asafoetida, when taken, cure heart diseases. Thus concludes a portion of the Great Garuda Purana. Hari then spoke: the mantra 'Aṃ gaṇapataye' of Gaṇapati bestows knowledge of wealth. Reciting this mantra eight thousand times and then tying the hair in a topknot brings victory in disputes; reciting it a hundred times makes one dear to people. Oblations to Rudra with black sesame seeds anointed with ghee, performed one thousand and eight times, bring a king under control within three days. On the eighth or fourteenth day, after fasting and worshipping the Lord of Obstacles, offering one thousand and eight oblations of sesame mixed with rice ensures one is undefeated in battle and served by all. Reciting the mantra eight thousand times and then one hundred and eight times, and tying the hair in a topknot, brings victory in royal courts. Placing the syllable 'hrīṃ' with its visarga on a woman's forehead in the morning brings her under one’s control. Placing it in the women’s quarters with a concentrated mind makes a passionate woman eager; there is no doubt. He who, pure and focused, offers ten thousand oblations will always have women come under his control merely by his gaze. By making a tilaka with the essence of the mind, slate, cow’s gall, and saffron, women come under one’s control. A tilaka made with bhringaraja, sahadeva, vaca, and white aparajita brings the three worlds under control. A man who makes a tilaka with cow’s gall and fish bile, using the little finger of his left hand, brings all the three worlds under his control; there is no doubt about this. Thus, the Garuda Purana reveals its marvels, blending the mysteries of healing, power, and mastery, each secret imparted with sacred intent.
