दशसंख्यावरो होमः प्रतिद्रव्यं शतोत्तरः घोररूपश्शिवश्चिंत्यो मारणोच्चाटनादिषु

The homa should be performed with one-tenth of that number, and for each material, one hundred and one; the fierce form of Shiva should be contemplated in rites such as destruction and expulsion.

दूर्वया घृतगोक्षीरमिश्रया मधुना तथा चरुणा सघृतेनैव केवलं पयसापि वा

With dūrvā grass, clarified butter, cow’s milk, honey, and with oblation mixed with ghee, or even with pure milk alone, one should make the offering.

जुहुयान्मृत्युविजये तिलै रोगोपशांतये घृतेन पयसा चैव कमलैर्वाथ केवलैः

For victory over death, one should offer sesame seeds; for the pacification of disease, with ghee and milk, or with lotuses or even with them alone.

समृद्धिकामो जुहुयान्महादारिद्र्यशांतये जातीपुष्पेण वश्यार्थी जुहुयात्सघृतेन तु

स्तंभनं सर्षपेणापि लशुनेन तु पातनम् ताडनं रुधिरेण स्यात्खरस्योष्ट्रस्य चोभयोः

Immobilization may also be done with mustard seeds, and overthrow with garlic; striking is accomplished with the blood of a donkey or a camel, or with both.

मारणोच्चाटने कुर्याद्रोहिबीजैस्तिलान्वितैः विद्वेषणं च तैलेन कुर्याल्लांगलकस्य तु

For destruction and expulsion, one should use rohī seeds mixed with sesame; for enmity, oil should be used, and for the plough, likewise.

सर्वसिद्धिकरो होमः क्षौद्राज्यदधिभिर्युतैः क्षीरेण तंदुलैश्चैव चरुणा केवलेन वा

The homa that grants all accomplishments is performed with honey, ghee, and curds, with milk and rice, or even with pure oblation.

शांतिकं पौष्टिकं वापि सप्तभिः समिदादिभिः द्रव्यैर्विशेषतो होमे वश्यमाकर्षणं तथा

For rites of peace or nourishment, seven kinds of fuel and other materials should be used especially in the homa, as well as for subjugation and attraction.

वश्यमाकर्षणं चैव श्रीपदं च विशेषतः बिल्वपत्रैस्तु हवनं शत्रोर्विजयदं तथा

Oblations with bilva leaves especially grant mastery, attraction, and prosperity, and likewise bring victory over enemies.

समिधः शांतिकार्येषु पालाशखदिरादिकाः करवीरार्कजाः क्रौर्ये कण्टकिन्यश्च विग्रहे

For rites of pacification, use fuel from palāśa, khadira, and similar woods; for cruel purposes, use oleander, arka, and thorny woods in conflict.

प्रशांतः शांतिकं कुर्यात्पौष्टिकं च विशेषतः निर्घृणः क्रुद्धचित्तस्तु प्रकुर्यादाभिचारिकम्

A calm person should perform rites for peace and especially for nourishment; but one who is merciless and angry in mind should perform malevolent rites.

अतीवदुरवस्थायां प्रतीकारांतरं न चेत् आततायिनमुद्दिश्य प्रकुर्यादाभिचारिकम्

If there is no other remedy in an extremely dire situation, one may perform a malevolent rite directed at an aggressor.

स्वराष्ट्रपतिमुद्दिश्य न कुर्यादाभिचारिकम् यद्यास्तिकस्सुधर्मिष्ठो मान्यो वा यो ऽपि कोपि वा

One should not perform malevolent rites against the ruler of one's own land, nor against anyone who is faithful, righteous, or worthy of respect, whoever they may be.

तमुद्दिश्यापि नो कुर्यादाततायिनमप्युत मनसा कर्मणा वाचा यो ऽपि कोपि शिवाश्रितः

Nor should one perform such rites even against an aggressor, if that person is devoted to Shiva, whether in thought, deed, or word, whoever they may be.

स्वराष्ट्रपतिमुद्दिश्य शिवा श्रितमथापि वा कृत्वाभिचारिकं कर्म सद्यो विनिपतेन्नरः

If one performs a malevolent rite against the ruler of one's land or even against someone devoted to Shiva, that person will immediately fall.

स्वराष्ट्रपालकं तस्माच्छिवभक्तं च कञ्चन न हिंस्यादभिचाराद्यैर्यदीच्छेत्सुखमात्मनः

Therefore, one should not harm the ruler of one's land or any devotee of Shiva by malevolent means, if one desires happiness for oneself.
