Listen now to the sacred procedure as laid out in the ancient verses. First, one is instructed to worship Maruti, the mighty Hanuman, whose thunderous roar strikes terror into the hearts of demons. As part of this worship, one should offer a tenth portion as oblations, blending them with rice, milk, and clarified butter, ensuring the offering is pure and pleasing. Having invoked Hanuman’s presence, the devotee honors him with traditional offerings—water for the feet and other respectful gestures. Hanuman is described as ever devoted to Rama, radiant in brilliance, king among monkeys, and possessing immense strength. He is called the sun of the southern quarter and is known as the destroyer of all obstacles. Alongside Hanuman, one must also honor his companions: Sugriva, Angada, Nila, Jambavan, and Nala. Worship is extended to Vajra and others, and by these acts, the mantra is empowered and accomplished. For the one who follows these instructions, all fears arising from royal enemies are dispelled. It is prescribed to feed twenty-two pure brahmacari priests, ensuring the ritual’s sanctity. Hostile planets and demons are destroyed instantly by this practice. Fevers caused by spirits, epilepsy, and witchcraft are removed through these mantras. After three days, the fever departs, and the person finds comfort. All diseases are overcome, and happiness is attained immediately. If a minister goes to battle, he will not be troubled by groups of weapons. When the mantra is recited three times and then touched, those weapons dry up completely without doubt. For seven days, the mantra is taken together with ashes and a nail, and those who have fallen into mutual enmity find their enemies quickly fleeing. To whomever food and similar items are given, prepared with this mantra, that person becomes like a servant. The ritual continues: a vessel from the dining area is taken, along with the root of the karañja tree. After establishing the life-force and duly worshipping with vermilion and other offerings, afflictions arising from planets, sorcery, disease, fire, poison, thieves, or kings are removed. In such a household, wealth, sons, and other blessings increase daily for a long time. If one wishes to address an enemy, an image is made and the enemy’s name is inscribed upon its heart. At the conclusion of the mantra, the enemy’s name is uttered, commanding, “Sever! Break!” The image is pressed between the palms, then abandoned, and the devotee returns home. In the ancestral forest, with hair unbound, using mustard seeds and salt, and with the feathers of an owl, crow, vulture, as well as mucus from the eyes of a crow, this is done for seven days to destroy an arrogant enemy. Then, a spirit arises and proclaims what is to come, whether auspicious or inauspicious. Ash, water, and the mantra are employed at night, repeated a thousand times, whether the affliction is gross or subtle. The rite is performed on the eighth or fourteenth day, or on a Tuesday or Sunday, with a pure mind and all auspicious signs. Having established the rite, the knower of mantras invokes it with the root mantra. Worship is performed with red sandalwood flowers, vermilion, and similar substances. Offerings include rice cakes, cooked rice, vegetables, sweetmeats, fried balls, and the like. Twenty-seven whole, unbroken tender leaves are offered. When the worship is complete, the knower of mantras recites the mantra ten times in peace. After expressing his desired intention, he dismisses the rite properly. Finally, he distributes the offered leaves among those present, giving each a share, thus fulfilling the sacred procedure as revealed in the scripture.
