1. The first of the five vital airs enumerated as pr& fu, ap& na, sam& na, xty& na and ud& na. Prdna has its seat in the beings, hence it means the breath.

CHAPTER NINETEEN.

Pranetvari Vidyd.

Sdta said:

1. I shall now narrate the prdneivari rite of Garucja as explained by Siva. I shall at first mention the places where a person bitten by a cobra does not remain alive.

2. If he is bitten in the funeral pyre, anthill, well, and the cavities of trees or if the marks of the bite are indistinct and there are three lines, he does not survive.

3-4. A person cannot survive the serpent bite if he is bitten on the sixth day of the fortnight or when the sun is in the Zodiac, Cancer or Aries, or the moon in the constellations Mula, A£ le§a and Magha; If he is bitten in the armpit, loins, throat, joints, temples, ears, belly, mouth, arms, neck or the back; If the messenger going to the physician is a man with a stick or a weapon, a mendicant or a naked person the patient is sure to die.

5-7. There are six vivartanas (or units of session) during the day and five vivartanas during the night. During the day the sun has the first session for a yama 1, the other ten planets (adding Rahu and Ketu also) have half yama each.

(10x£ = 5

sessions). During the night the serpents have their sessions (§e? a one and eight other serpents together four, five sessions).

Among serpents Sesa is Sun, Phanipa is moon, Taksaka is Mars, Karkota is Jupiter, Padma and Mahapadma (jointly)

Venus and Sankha is saturn. Rahu and Kulika are themselves serpents and planets. 8

8. When Jupiter presides during the day or in the night he is the slayer of even gods. Saturn is death by day. When Rahu presides along with kulika at the hours of confluence of two half-yamas, the period is destructive.

1. T& ma generally means one eighth part of a day, a period of three hours. (SSED p. 457)

4. This list of eight main serpents is somewhat different from that found elsewhere.

9-11. The fifteen parts of the human body, viz — toes, feet, calves, knees, genital, navel, heart, breast tips, neck, nosetip, eyes, ears, brows temples and the head are allotted a day each from pralipad (the first day of the fortnight). These parts are assigned, in order, to so many muhurtas (one sixtieth of a day) as follows: — five to the toe, twelve to the feet, five to the calf, two to the knee, one to the genital, six to the navel, four to the breast tip, eight to the throat, fifteen to the nosetip and one each to the eyes, ears eye-brow, temple and the head.

12-13. If the moon presides over the right part of the man’s body he may survive. In regard to a woman it is the left part of the body. Consciousness is restored by rubbing with the hand and setting the wind in motion. The great Bija (mystic seed) of the soul is called hamsa, it is as pure as crystal.

14. It is known as the queller of poison and sin. Its Bija is fourfold. The first Bija is Bindu (the point in Om). The second consists of five vowels; the third stands on the sixth and the fourth is with visarga.

15. Om kuru Kunde 1 Svaha.

This Vidya (mystical knowledge) was kept by Garu^a formerly for the protection of the three worlds.

16. A man desirous of killing the serpents shall place Pranava (Om) in the mouth. The wise man shall place Kuru in the neck, Kunde 2 in the calves, Svaha in the feet. This nydsa (placing) is called yugahd.

17. The house in which this mantra is written and placed is abandoned by serpents. After reciting this mantra a thousand times the sacred thread shall be placed on the ear.

18. Serpents leave off the house where sand particles are scattered after reciting this mantra. By reciting it seven lakhs of time 3 siddhi has been obtained by Devas and Asuras.

19. Om svdhd unto the fowl- formed of golden lines ( Oth Suvarnarekhe kukkufavigraharupini svdhd), he should write, on a lotus of eight petals, two letters in each petal.

20. The patient bitten by a serpent should be sprinkled with water of that lotus. He then leaves off the poison.

21. Orh Pakfi Svdhd Reciting this mantra the fingers beginning with the thumb and ending with the little finger should be placed, (Nyasa) in order, on the head, mouth, heart, genital and the feet.

22. Even in dreams the poisonous serpents do not step on his shadow. The person who recites this a hundred thousand times is competent to quell poison by a mere glance.

23. Orh Hrirh Hraurh Hrim Bhirundayai Svdhd This mantra recited into the ear of the patient removes poison.

24-25. Nydsa to be placed at the tip of the feet calf head This Hamsa-mantra-nydsa when recited, contemplated or worshipped removes poison.

27. Placing Hariisa on the left hand, the operator shall close nostrils and mouth. This mantra shall destroy poison in the skin as well as flesh.

28. He should draw out the poison of the patient by blowing the wind and place it over his body. He then shall remember the blue-throated God Siva and others.

29. The root of Pratyahgirdh 1 drunk with rice water removes poison. The roots of Punarnava PhalinP and Cakrajd are also like this.

1. Identity not clear.

2. Spreading Hogmeed, VN p, 233.

3. Also called priyangu — Callicarpa maerophylla, VN, p. 236.

4. vJ. vakrajd. Susruta describes a shrub called cakrakd. There ip also a herb named vakra (valleriana wallichii). QUDB, pp. i 50 and 173.

30. The roots of white Brhatl 1 and Karkofi 2 are also destructive of poison. Gairikariiik& (a clod of earth) kneaded with water and mixed with ghee should be applied over the part bitten. The appliance of paste will remove poison.

31-32. If the patient drinks hot ghee, the poison does not spread. Five parts of the root of £ irl$a? with one part of Grnjana 5 (red garlic) either drunk or applied over the body removes poison. The mantra Om Hnm removes the poison of Gonasa (a kind of snake).

33. When this mantra [Om Hrim) ending with visarga is contemplated in the heart and forehead it gives the power to influence every one. If this mantra is placed in the vaginal passage the girl comes under his influence, putting forth secretions of intoxication profusely.

34. Having recited this mantra 7x8 (fifty-six) thousand times, one becomes competent to go everywhere like Garuda, and a poet, well-read in Vedas and obtains a wife who will be under his control.

Indeed, the central theme of Sage Vyasa story is destructive of poison.

CHAPTER TWENTY.
