“Bezoar³⁰⁷ and costus root,  
Saffron, nut grass, and mustard seed,  
Linseed, cardamom, and spikenard,  
And ironwood flowers and vetiver:  
  
“Combine equal amounts of each  
During the Puṣya lunar house.  
Recite these mantra words  
A hundred times over the powder:

“Make a circle of cow dung  
And scatter flower petals.  
Pour sweetened water  
Into a gold bowl and a silver bowl.  
  
“You should also place there  
Four men dressed in armor,  
And place there four maidens  
Who are adorned and holding pots.  
  
“Perfume the air with bdellium  
And play the five kinds of musical instruments.³¹⁸  
Adorn the goddess with  
Banners, parasols, and flags.  
  
“In between, place mirrors  
And arrange arrows and spears.  
Then, after closing the boundary,  
Commence what is to be done.

“Engage in the peaceful activity of cleansing by reciting this mantra while washing the body of the Bhagavat:  
  
tadyathā | sugaṭe vigaṭe vigatāvati svāhā |³²¹  
  
“May the lunar asterisms, wherever they are  
In the four directions, protect lives.  
May they bring to an end the dreadful terrors  
Of the harms from the stars of one’s birth,  
The fears that arise from a multitude of actions,  
And the disturbances of the elements.
