2. If a man is made to take a piece of betel-nut enchanted with the mantra, he will be charmed.
3. A man will also be enchanted if he takes any eatables charmed with the mantra.
46. THE MYSTICAL DIAGRAM.
The jantra should be written on the bhurjjapatra with gorochand, and the name of the person to be enchanted should be written on it. Then it should be charmed with the Satru mukhabandhan mantra (No. 33) by muttering it hundred and eight times; when this jantra is held in the arm, it will effect enchantment.
47. ENCHANTMENT OF BOYS.
The seeds of red sandal and Elakshi (Alpinia Card- amomuns) should be taken in equal proportion and made into a paste; a boy, who is made to take this with a piece of betel-nut charmed with the mantra, will be enchanted.
48. SNAKE-CHARMING
1. Fruits of the palm tree and thorn-apple are ground and mixed with milk ; it should then be charmed with the mantra. If a snake is made to drink this lotion, it will be charmed and excited ; but if the snake is made to take a plum ground with milk and sugar, and if a part of it is also rubbed on its body, then it will be cured of excitement.
2. The hairy caterpillar should be dried and reduced to powder; this powder should be made into dhoops, the burning of which will effect the enchant-ment of snakes.
