CHAPTER IV
26. STOPPAGE OF ACTIONS
1. The Chamunda mantra (No. 26) should be mut- tered one hundred and eight times over the roots of the shrub called Mutha {Oyperus ’Rotundas); if a man enters into a debate holding that root in his mouth, he will dumbfound his opponent.
2. The root of the swallow-wort and the parasitic plant called raghumala should be ground with honey, in the eighth lunar mansion; if this powder be strewn over ones own equals, the action of their mouths, will be. stopped.
27. MYSTICAL DIAGRAM
If the jantra is written with the juice of turmeric on a piece of stone and if the stone is turned upside down with the name of a woman written on it, the action of the mouth of that woman will be stopped.
28. STOPPAGE OF THE MOVEMENTS OF THE HANDS
The movements of a man’s hand will be stopped, if a man’s figure be drawn with the dust of his feet mixed with yellow arsenic, having its hands on its breast. It is necessary to keep the figure closed in a receptacle.
29. STOPPAGE OF THE MOVEMENTS OF THE MOUTH OF AN ENEMY
The dust from under the feet of an enemy mixed with yellow arsenic powder should be taken in both the hands. The powder of one hand should be kept imbedded under the funeral ground, while that of the other hand should be kept in the bed-ehamber of the enemy. This will stop the movement of the mouth of the enemy.
