Having written the name in the centre of the cow and in the centre of an eight-petalled lotus, / on a cloth from a cremation ground or the like, one should write it with charcoal from a cremation ground.

wise will live for a hundred years, and he will have no fear of thieves or enemies. / Even one enraged becomes gracious by drinking water consecrated by the mantra in battle.

Collyrium and forehead-mark for subjugation; poetry will arise on the tip of the tongue; / from its recitation comes subjugation in intercourse; from its recitation comes the beholding of the vulva;

ending with Anaṅgamadanā and Anaṅgamekhalā, for prosperity.
