"O you who mount a great corpse, who are surrounded by great aerial chariots, Kālarātri, surrounded by great retinues, huge-faced one, many-armed one! O you who roar with loud laughter amidst the sound of bells, ḍamaru-drums, and tinkling ornaments, kili kili, oṃ hūṃ phaṭ! O you who cause dreadful darkness with your fangs, who abound in sounds and clamour, whose body is wrapped in elephant skin, smeared with flesh, with your fierce licking tongue, great demoness! Terrifying with dreadful fangs, bursting with earth-shaking loud laughter, glowing like flashing lightning! Move, move, oṃ! O bird-eyed one, cili cili, oṃ! O flickering-tongued one, oṃ bhīṃ! O frowning-faced one, terrifying with fearful huṅkāras, wearing the moon on your matted-hair crown surrounded by a garland of skulls, laughing uproariously, kili kili, oṃ hrūṃ! O creator of terrifying darkness with your fangs, destroyer of all obstacles, accomplish this rite, accomplish! Oṃ, make haste, make haste! Oṃ phaṭ! Oṃ, subdue with the elephant goad, make [them] enter! Oṃ raṅga raṅga, make [them] tremble, make [them] tremble! Oṃ, shake! Oṃ, you who delight in blood, flesh, and liquor! Strike, strike! Oṃ, crush, crush! Oṃ, cut, oṃ, slay, oṃ, make [them] submit, oṃ, cast down their adamantine body! Oṃ, whether evil or not evil residing in the three worlds, whether seized or not seized, possess [them]! Oṃ, dance! Oṃ, bow! Oṃ, hollow-eyed one, upright-haired one, owl-faced one, skeletal one, oṃ! O wearer of a garland of skeletons, burn, oṃ, cook, cook, oṃ, seize, oṃ! Make [them] enter the center of the maṇḍala! Oṃ, why do you delay? By the truth of Brahmā, by the truth of Viṣṇu, by the truth of Rudra, by the truth of the sages, possess [them]! Oṃ kili kili, oṃ khili khili vili vili, oṃ! O bearer of a deformed shape, whose body is entwined with black serpents, possessor of all astrological spirits! O hanging-lipped one, whose nose reaches the furrow of your brows, hideous-faced one, yellow-matted-haired one, Brāhmī, shatter! Oṃ flame-faced one!"

"Dig, oṃ! Cast down, oṃ! Red-eyed one, whirl around, throw to the ground! Oṃ, seize the head, shut the eyes! Oṃ, seize the hands and feet, break the seal! Oṃ phaṭ! Oṃ, tear apart, oṃ! Cut with the trident, oṃ! Strike with the vajra, oṃ! Beat with the staff, beat! Oṃ, slice with the discus, slice! Oṃ, pierce with the spear! Pierce with the fangs, oṃ! Cleave with the lotus-seed, oṃ! Seize with the elephant goad, oṃ! Release, release the fevers of head and eyes—the quotidian, tertian, quartan, [and so forth]—and the spirits of Ḍākinīs and Skanda! Oṃ, cook, oṃ, ruin, oṃ, throw to the ground, oṃ, seize! Oṃ, Brahmāṇī, come! Oṃ, Māheśvarī, come! Oṃ, Kaumārī, come! Oṃ, Vaiṣṇavī, come! Oṃ, Vārāhī, come! Oṃ, Aindrī, come! Oṃ, Cāmuṇḍā, come!

Stand by the agreement! Oṃ, make [them] enter the maṇḍala! Oṃ, seize, bind the mouth! Oṃ, bind the eyes, and bind the hands and feet! Bind all the malicious spirits! Oṃ, bind the cardinal directions, oṃ, bind the intermediate directions, bind the lower regions! Oṃ, bind everything! Oṃ, through ashes, water, earth, or mustard seeds, possess all of them! Oṃ, strike down, oṃ! Cāmuṇḍā, kili kili, oṃ vicce huṃ phaṭ svāhā!"
