Chapter 3: The Supreme Accomplishment Ritual

At that time, the god Nala spoke this great mantra:

Homage to Vaiśravaṇa, the Great General, To the one who holds the golden vase, To the one who is pure and stainless, To the one whose body is adorned with jewels, To the one who is the lord of yakṣas and spirits, To the Bhagavān, the Unsurpassed King, To the one who bestows all benefits. It is thus: Mani, mani, Guṭa, guṭa, Guṭa, guṭa, Gu, gu, gu, gu, Pra, pra, Bhra, bhra, Kupa, kupa, To the one who holds the golden vase, To the one who is pure and stainless, Viṇāri, Tuji, tuji, svāhā.

Furthermore, if a practitioner seeks to attain the Raksasa accomplishment, they must first select a place of wet, marshy ground. Then, the practitioner should bathe and cleanse themselves, put on the appropriate robes according to the method, and at the chosen location, set out freshly prepared food and a water vessel. Using the Raudra ritual, perform the homa fire offering continuously for twelve days and nights. When this period is complete, the Raksasa will manifest in its true form, appearing with a fearsome visage and four arms, holding a trident, an axe, a pestle, and a bell, riding upon a lion, and standing before the practitioner. It will say to the practitioner, "I now desire to eat." Upon seeing this, the practitioner must not be afraid, but should take the food in hand and say to the Raksasa, "This food is offered in accordance with the will of the deity Nārāyaṇa; you must partake of it properly." Having spoken these words, the practitioner should then present the food and the water vessel. After the Raksasa has accepted them, it will ask the practitioner, "What do you seek?" The practitioner should reply, "To accomplish all things for me." The Raksasa will then say, "So be it, so be it. I shall perform all that you desire."
