Golden in hue and radiant as the dawn, the Lord sat majestically upon Suparna, the mighty Garuḍa, His form adorned with a garland that shimmered like lightning itself. In His lotus-like hands, He bore the discus and the conch, while His other hands offered the gestures of fearlessness and the granting of boons, reassuring all who beheld Him. When the time came to face the enemy’s army, one was instructed to exert every effort to halt their advance. First, one must worship Lord Narasiṃha with offerings of flowers and other suitable gifts, invoking His fierce protection. With concentrated intent, the devotee would recite the mantra, envisioning it as if it were devouring and burning away the enemy, and then cast this mantra forcefully upon them. At an auspicious moment, the king, seeking victory over a foreign kingdom, would set forth, never ceasing to remember and recite the powerful mantra until his victorious return. With joy in his heart, the king would then reward his minister with wealth, for the minister’s satisfaction was essential; should the minister remain displeased, misfortune would surely befall the king. Further, ashes empowered by a mantra of one hundred and eight syllables could be used to anoint the body, granting freedom from all disease without doubt. By employing sticks from the audumbara tree in rituals, one would ensure an abundant harvest of grain. In the presence of an angry king, reciting the mantra one hundred and eight times would bring peace and resolution. At sunrise, offering jasmine flowers, or using mocā flowers, would destroy obstacles in one’s path. By offering oblations of parched rice made from shāli rice, the practitioner could bring the whole world under their sway. For certain rites, guduchi measuring four fingers in length was to be mixed with curd, honey, and ghee. On Saturdays, after touching the sacred ashvattha tree, one should recite the mantra one hundred and eight times for success. Now, the sacred text revealed the secret of a yantra that enchants the three worlds. On white birch bark, one should draw a lotus adorned with thirty-two lions, and within it inscribe the seed syllable of Śrī, to be perceived through its husk, adorned with three bracelets. This yantra, known as “the enchantment of the three worlds,” fulfills all desires and aims. By concentrating upon it, victory is assured—this is a truth beyond all doubt. One should also inscribe upon it an eight-spoked wheel, smooth and with a central hub, placing at the center the single-syllabled name of Nārasiṃha alongside the object of one’s accomplishment. The wise would then wrap this device in layers of gold, silver, copper, and brass, and wear it on the neck, arm, or topknot. Protected thus, no wicked being, ghost, serpent, or demon could bring harm. Yet another device was described, one that brings all under control: it was to be inscribed firmly with twelve divisions, measured precisely. This wheel, known as Kālāntaka, was the bringer of happiness to the gods, and merely by wearing it, one would achieve victory everywhere. At its heart was the seed mantra for Nārasiṃha, “ṅeṃto,” a supreme utterance. The devotee would pray: “Protect us, O destroyer of all beginnings and demons, O lord of all beings.” To complete the invocation, at the end of the name, one should utter the double “da” and the double “pa.” The supreme mantra, called Jvālāmālī, was composed of sixty-eight syllables, arranged in lines of eighteen syllables each, matching the number of the Rudras. While reciting this, one should remember Nṛhari, adorned with flames, just as He had been previously described. This supreme mantra was said to destroy all afflictions—whether caused by Rudra, by epilepsy, or by evil spirits. The great six-syllabled mantra bestowed all desired blessings. To perfect the practice, one should perform the six limbs of the ritual, each with the seed syllable, extending each with six long vowels, thus completing the sacred observance and securing divine favor.
