vaśīkaraṇahetoryaḥ kūṣmāṃḍīḥ prajapennaraḥ | śatravo'pi vaśe tasya kiṃ punaḥ pramadādayaḥ
وَشی کرن (تابع کرنے) کے لیے جو شخص کوشمانڈی منتر کا جپ کرتا ہے، اس کے دشمن بھی اس کے قابو میں آ جاتے ہیں؛ پھر عورتیں وغیرہ تو بدرجۂ اولیٰ۔
Sūta
Type: kshetra
Scene: A practitioner chants the Kūṣmāṇḍī mantra; hostile figures bow or soften, while townsfolk approach with respect—depicting influence as social harmonization rather than coercion.
It presents mantra-japa as a potent discipline whose efficacy is amplified in a praised tīrtha-setting, though it should be approached within dharma and self-restraint.
The broader adhyāya praises a tīrtha/pīṭha that grants mantra-success; this particular verse does not name the site explicitly.
Repetition (japa) of the Kūṣmāṇḍī mantra for vaśīkaraṇa (influence/attraction).
