23 'The second jatra should be written on the palm of the man's left hand with his own blood, and the name of the woman should be recorded on it. After this, the Chamunda mantra (No. 21) should be muttered, press- ing the left hand to his breast : the woman will come to his bed. CHAPTER III. 14, SUBDUATION OF MEN, At first the three-lettered naatra (No. 6) should be muttered a hundred times. Then the name of the man who is sought to be subdued should be mentioned, when once more the three-lettered a@atra is recited hundred and eight times, sitting in silence with eyes open, and contemplating that the man is being subdued. This will effect the subjugation of the man, 1. The roots of Aparajita and white Kadaima, in equal proportions should be made into a paste and a mark should be made on the forehead with this : this will procure for one the victory over his equals. 2. The head of a big black snake should be buried in the earth, and a plant of kachaarad should be grown over that place. The roots of this plant, when grown up, should be made into a paste, and a mark made with it on the forehead : everybody will fear him. 3. If one takes a piece of the root of Jayanti (Sesbaaa Egyptiaca) flower in his mouth, he will gain victory over the officers of the king. 4. If the parasitic plant called vag launate, grown on mango or jam tree, is tied to one's thigh in the sixth Junar mansion, he will gain victory over his equals.
