ॐ नमः सर्वसत्त्वेभ्यो नमः सिद्धिं कुरु कुरु स्वाहा / सप्ताभिमन्त्रितं कृत्वा करवीरस्य पुष्पकम् / स्त्रीणामग्रे भ्रामयच्च क्षणाद्वै सा वशे भवेत्
oṃ namaḥ sarvasattvebhyo namaḥ siddhiṃ kuru kuru svāhā / saptābhimantritaṃ kṛtvā karavīrasya puṣpakam / strīṇāmagre bhrāmayacca kṣaṇādvai sā vaśe bhavet
“اوم، تمام سَتّووں کو نمسکار؛ نمسکار—سِدھی عطا کرو، عطا کرو—سواہا۔” اس طرح کرَوِیر کے پھول کو سات بار منتر سے مُنَوّر کر کے عورت کے سامنے گھمانے سے وہ پل بھر میں زیرِ اثر آ جاتی ہے۔

FAQs
This verse illustrates a typical vidhi pattern: a specific mantra, a fixed number of recitations (seven), and a stated result (phala), showing how ritual efficacy is framed through precise procedure.
Even within broader teachings, the text sometimes includes concise ritual instructions: the teacher states the mantra, the method (consecrating an object), and the promised outcome, presented as a practical addendum to doctrinal discourse.
Read it primarily as a documentation of historical ritual culture and the text’s vidhi-style composition; for ethical living, take the broader Purana emphasis on self-control and dharma rather than using verses aimed at coercive influence.
