“The sādhana of Maheśvara.

“If one wants to enthrall Maheśvara,¹⁵⁵⁰ one should worship him in his benevolent (dakṣiṇa) form with bountiful offerings.

At the end of this period, one should fast for one night and then offer a large pūjā to the Blessed One, and also make a bali offering of rice porridge to the yakṣas. In one’s mind, one should resolve, ‘I am going to summon the yakṣas,’ and offer into the fire one thousand and eight sticks of the banyan tree smeared with curds, honey, and ghee. Subsequently, the yakṣas, including Kubera, will arrive.
