Shiva Purana (Books 1 & 7)

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

One desiring prosperity should offer for the pacification of great poverty; one seeking control should offer with jātī flowers and ghee.

घृतेन करवीरैश्च कुर्यादाकर्षणं द्विजः तैलेनोच्चाटनं कुर्यात्स्तंभनं मधुना पुनः

With ghee and karavīra flowers, a twice-born should perform attraction; with oil, expulsion; with honey, immobilization.

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.

बंधनं रोहिबीजेन सेनास्तंभनमेव च रक्तसर्षपसंमिश्रैर्होमद्रव्यैरशेषतः

Binding and immobilizing armies are accomplished with rohī seeds, and with oblation materials thoroughly mixed with red mustard seeds.

हस्तयंत्रोद्भवैस्तैलैर्जुहुयादाभिचारिके कटुकीतुषसंयुक्तैः कार्पासास्थिभिरेव च

For malevolent rites, one should offer with oils derived from mechanical devices, mixed with bitter pulses and cotton seeds or bones.

सर्षपैस्तैलसंमिश्रैर्जुहुयादाभिचारिके ज्वरोपशांतिदं क्षीरं सौभाग्यफलदं तथा

For malevolent rites, one should offer with mustard seeds mixed with oil; milk is used to pacify fever and bestow good fortune.

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.

अन्यं कमपि चोद्दिश्य कृत्वा वै मारणादिकम् पश्चात्तापेन संयुक्तः प्रायश्चित्तं समाचरेत्

If one performs killing or similar acts directed at anyone else, one should undertake atonement, afflicted by remorse.

बाणलिंगे ऽपि वा कुर्यान्निर्धनो धनवानपि स्वयंभूते ऽथ वा लिंगे आर्षके वैदिके ऽपि वा

One may perform rites even on a stone liṅga, whether poor or wealthy, or on a self-manifested liṅga, or one established by sages, or even a Vedic liṅga.

अभावे हेमरत्नानामशक्तौ च तदर्जने मनसैवाचरेदेतद्द्रव्यैर्वा प्रतिरूपकैः

If gold or jewels are unavailable or cannot be obtained, one should perform the rite mentally or with substitute materials.

क्वचिदंशे तु यः शक्तस्त्वशक्तः क्वचिदंशके सो ऽपि शक्त्यनुसारेण कुर्वंश्चेत्फलमृच्छति

If someone is able to perform a part of the rite but not another part, even so, by acting according to their ability, they will obtain the result.

कर्मण्यनुष्ठिते ऽप्यस्मिन्फलं यत्र न दृश्यते द्विस्त्रिर्वावर्तयेत्तत्र सर्वथा दृश्यते फलम्

If, after performing the rite, the result is not seen, one should repeat it two or three times; in every case, the result will be seen.

पूजोपयुक्तं यद्द्रव्यं हेमरत्नाद्यनुत्तमम् तत्सर्वं गुरवे दद्याद्दक्षिणां च ततः पृथक्

All the best materials used in worship, such as gold and jewels, should be given to the teacher, and a separate fee should also be given.

स चेन्नेच्छति तत्सर्वं शिवाय विनिवेदयेत् अथवा शिवभक्तेभ्यो नान्येभ्यस्तु प्रदीयते

If the teacher does not wish to accept them, all should be offered to Shiva, or else to devotees of Shiva, but not to anyone else.

यः स्वयं साधयेच्छक्त्या गुर्वादिनिरपेक्षया सो ऽप्येवमाचरेदत्र न गृह्णीयात्स्वयं पुनः

One who accomplishes the rite by their own power, without dependence on a teacher or others, should also act in this way, and should not take the offerings for themselves again.

स्वयं गृह्णाति यो लोभात्पूजांगद्रव्यमुत्तमम् कांक्षितं न लभेन्मूढो नात्र कार्या विचारणा

If someone, out of greed, takes the best offerings used in worship for themselves, that deluded person will not obtain the desired result—there is no doubt about this.

अर्चितं यत्तु तल्लिंगं गृह्णीयाद्वा नवा स्वयम् गृह्णीयाद्यदि तन्नित्यं स्वयं वान्यो ऽपि वार्चयेत्

If one takes the worshipped liṅga, whether new or already worshipped, and worships it regularly, either oneself or another may perform the worship.
