Vasi峁ａ弓ha said:

1. After comprehending the entire reason thereof, the pot-born sage Agastya became delighted in his mind and said to 搁腻尘补, the scion of the family of 叠丑峁沢耻.

Agastya said:

2. Listen, O 搁腻尘补 of great fortune, I shall tell you what is conducive to your welfare, whereby you will attain, ere long, the spiritual attainment and assimilation of the Mantra.

3. If a person knows the characteristic features of devotion that is of three types, O highly intelligent one, and strives-for it, he will realize it quickly.

4. Once, with a desire to see Ananta, I had been to the Netherworlds, rendered splendid with great joy by the leading royal serpents.

5-7a. There, O 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 of great fortune, great men of spiritual achievement were seen by me all round viz. Sanaka and others, 狈腻谤补诲补, Gautama, 闯腻箩补濒颈, Kratu, 峁歜丑耻, 贬补峁僺补, 膧谤耻峁噄, 痴腻濒尘墨办颈, 艢补办迟颈 and 膧蝉耻谤颈. These and many other great Siddhas beginning with 痴腻迟蝉测腻测补苍补^[1] were sitting near the lord of serpents and worshipped him for the sake of knowledge.

7b-10. O 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 of great forune, this our goddess of earth who bears all living beings was seated in front of him assuming her own form (of a goddess), listening continuously to those stories. Whatever the goddess of earth asked 艢别峁�a, the direct support of the Earth, the sages sitting there could hear, due to his blessings. The auspicious hymn 碍峁涐梗峁嘺辫谤别尘腻尘峁泃补 was heard by me there, O dear one.

11-12. I shall expound to you that hymn of prayer for the sake of which you have come here.

The goddess of Earth had already finished hearing the incarnation of the boar etc., the story that destroys sins, that accords pleasure and salvation and that is the cause of knowledge and perfect wisdom.

After hearing everything, O dear one, the goddess of Earth bowed down once again to 顿丑补谤腻诲丑补谤补 (i.e. 艢别峁�a, the support of the Earth) with delight and spoke to him in order to know the activities of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.

Dhara峁嚹� said:

13-15. Lord 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 had embellished the birth (life) of all men who had their abodes in the Vraja (Cowherds鈥� Colony) belonging to Nanda. He had assumed the physical body sportingly. He has many names caused and conditioned by his (various) conquests (appended with the word 鈥榲ictory to鈥�). I have been desirous of hearing the most important names among them for a long time. Hence O 痴腻蝉耻办颈 (? 艢别峁�a) mention those names of the son of Vasudeva. There is nothing more meritorious than this, in the three worlds.

艢别峁�a said:

16-17a. O goddess Earth of great beauty, there is (a prayer composed of hundred and eight names. It bestows salvation upon the people. It is at the acme of all auspicious things. It confers eight-fold spiritual attainments beginning with 础峁噄尘腻 (minuteness).

17b-18. It destroys millions and millions of great sins. It endows the listener with the merits accruing from all holy-centres. It accords the fruits of all Japas and 驰补箩帽补蝉. It is destructive of all sins. Listen O gentle lady, I shall recount it.

19. By a simple repetition, a single name of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 yields that fruit which is yielded by repeating three times the thousand holy names.

20. Hence, this prayer is more meritorious and destructive of sins.^[2]

O beloved lady, I myself am the seer for these one hundred and eight names. The metre is 础苍耻峁ａ弓耻辫 (eight-syllabled one) and the deity is Yoga that is a favourite of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.

Its name is 碍峁涐梗峁嘺辫谤别尘腻尘峁泃补. It bestows the greatest bliss.^[3]

44-45. It destroys the misery of the greatest harassment. It enhances the greatest longevity. Whatever one does in this birth such as charitable gifts, holy rites, penance, pilgrimage to holy centres etc. shall be fruitful millions and millions of times, if one reads and listens to this.

It provides material for Japa for our souls^[4] [Mantra] 鈥淥beisance to 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, the leader of the 驰腻诲补惫补蝉, to the Yogin whose 惭耻诲谤腻 (gesture of esoteric significance) is perfect knowledge, to the lord. Obeisance to the Lord of 搁耻办尘颈峁嚹�. Obeisance to one who understands 痴别诲腻苍迟补.鈥�

One should repeat this Mantra, O gentle lady, day and night. He shall have the blessings of all planets; he shall be a favourite unto all. He shall be surrounded by sons and grandsons. He shall be prosperous with all achievements. After enjoying all worldly pleasures, he shall attain the 厂腻测耻箩测补 (Merging with the Lord) with 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.鈥�

Agastya said:

51-52. 鈥淎fter saying this much, lord Ananta who is that form of the lord (痴颈峁ａ箛耻) named 厂补峁僰补谤峁�a峁嘺, who supports the Earth and the worlds, and who is the bestower of honour, pointed out this prayer once again and stopped. Then all those who had been eager to listen to the tales and who were seated all round him viz. Sanaka and others became immersed in the ocean filled with delight. They honoured that lord of Serpents.

The Sages said:

53. 鈥淥beisance, obeisance to you the sanctifier of the entire universe. O lord of the nature of no change and loss, O dispeller of distress of the devotee who resorts to you, Obeisance to the supporter of the Earth, to the ocean of mercy. Obeisance to 艢别峁�a the lord of the universe.

54. O lord, we have been made to imbibe 碍峁涐梗峁嚹乵峁泃a by you. We have been made rid of all sins by you. People like you, O lord, are sympathetic with the wretched ones. Undoubtedly, you uplift your own people who bow down to you.鈥�

55. After bowing down to the feet of the lord of Serpents, after directing the mind to the feet that fulfil all our desires and after circumambulating the supporter of the Earth, all of us went to our respective residences.

56. Thus, O 搁腻尘补, the prayer named 笔谤别尘腻尘峁泃补 of lord 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, the perfect one, the lover of 搁腻诲丑腻, has been recounted to you. It bestows all achievements upon the listener.

57. This extremely rare prayer has been heard directly from lord 艢别峁�a who was recounting the tales of the lord, O 搁腻尘补 of great fortune.

58-61. All the Mantras, prayers and kavacas that are in the three worlds can be realized and assimilated by practising this.鈥�

Vasi峁ａ弓ha said:

鈥淎fter saying this, O great king, after recounting the prayer 碍峁涐梗峁嘺-笔谤别尘腻尘峁泃补 no sooner did the sage cease to speak than an aerial chariot came there. It was followed by four wonderful Siddhas who could assume any form they desired and who had the speed of the mind. The male and the female deer bowed down to the feet of Agastya, galloped and joyously climbed the chariot.

Even as all the living beings, Agastya and 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补 were watching, they assumed divine bodies marked with conch-shell, discus etc. They then went to the world of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 bowed down to by all the Devas.

This 痴腻迟蝉测腻测补苍补 is probably different from the author of the 碍腻尘补-蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

[2]:

The ensuing prayer mainly contains references to incidents in the life of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 as described in the tenth Skandha of the Bh. P. with a sprinkling of some Ved膩ntic terms to indicate the identity of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 with Para-Brahman and Vis峁噓.

Thus Mantrajapa, Kavaca and stotra conclude the Tantric way of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 worship.
