Sanskrit Original
शत्रोरष्टमाराशौ वा परिविष्टे दिवाकरे। सोमे वा परिविष्टे तु मन्त्रेणानेन सुव्रताः।।
śatroraṣṭamārāśau vā pariviṣṭe divākare| some vā pariviṣṭe tu mantreṇānena suvratāḥ||
Sūta said: When the moon has entered the eighth sign of Zodiac, or when, the sun is covered by Pariveṣa,[4] O sages of good holy rites this mantra shall be repeated. The enemy shall be deposed from his position and he shall perish. When the campaign of conquest starts, the picture of the enemy shall be drawn on the ground that has been scrubbed well to resemble the polished surface of a mirror. Above that ground there must be a splendid canopy with four festoons suspended and surrounded by clusters of Darbha grass. There must be chanting of the. Vedic mantras indicating the affluence and flourishing state of the kingdom. The devotee then kicks the head of the enemy with his right leg. When this is performed the enemy of the king will be destroyed. If an evil-minded person performs this rite of Abhicāra against the king of his own country he will surely kill himself and his family. Hence, one shall always protect the king who protects his kingdom by means of mantras, medicines and holy rites. This secret that has been told to you shall not be given to anyone and everyone.
