Fol. 2: Bower manuscript > And this queen of spells, the Mahāmāyūrī, Ānanda, should be brought to mind by one who has gone to a village, should be brought to mind by one who has gone to the wilderness, by one who has gone on a path, / by one who has gone off the path, by one who has entered amidst the royal household, by one who has entered amidst thieves, by one who has entered amidst fire, by one who has entered amidst water, by one who has entered amidst adversaries, / by one who has entered amidst an assembly, by one who has entered amidst a dispute; it should be brought to mind by one bitten by a snake, by one who has drunk poison, and upon the occurrence of any danger; when afflicted by any one among the four hundred and four diseases arising from the wind humour, the bile humour, the phlegm humour, or the combination of the three humours, / or when misfortunes have arisen. For what reason? For one deserving death, Ānanda, will be freed with a rod; one deserving a rod, with a blow; \[one deserving a blow,\] with verbal abuse; / one deserving verbal abuse, with a reprimand; one deserving a reprimand, with \[merely\] the hair standing on end. Just so will he be freed, and his freedom from all diseases will come to pass. And these / mantra phrases, Ānanda, should be brought to mind, namely: ili mili kili mili ketumūle buddhavaṭṭe vusavaṭṭe vusaraṇi 2 kevaṭṭe / kevaṭṭakamūle dumba tumba iti śavare priyaṃkare āvaṭṭe parivaṭṭe, let the god rain with fresh water all around, homage to the Blessed One, / itiṭṭāya indragope sikaya āśane pāśane pāpanikāle kapilamitte, homage to the Blessed Buddha, may the / mantra phrases be successful, svāhā! And by means of this queen of spells, the Mahāmāyūrī, spoken by the Tathāgata, I make protection, guarding, safeguard, / preservation, keeping safe, peace, benediction, avoidance of punishment, \[relief\] for one suffering from fever, neutralisation of poison, and destruction of poison for Yaśamitra. May he live a hundred years, / may he see a hundred autumns! And, Ānanda, I do not see anyone in the world with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, among humanity with its ascetics and brahmins, / with its gods, men, and asuras, against whom—when protection, guarding, safeguard, preservation, / keeping safe, peace, benediction, avoidance of punishment, neutralisation of poison, and destruction of poison have been made by means of this queen of spells, the Mahāmāyūrī—any harm at all could approach. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower.55) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower~en-mt.56) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower.56) · Pramāṇa
