“O killer of demons, O voice of Viñëu that destoys evil spells, I now destroy any evil magic that any stranger or near-one has buried to do me harm; I now destroy any evil magic buried for me by anyone equal to me or unequal to me; I now destroy any evil charm that has been buried for me by any relative or non-relative; I cast out that magic spell.”

“The Lord bright like the sun, copper red, all auspcious, also called Rudra, resides in all directions, and expands a thousand fold like the rays of the sun. We approach you to remove our impurities.”

@FOOTNOTE: The thousand headed Puruña manifests the three characteristics of Viñëu, the maintainer, Hiraëya Garbha, the creator and Çiva, the destroyer. All these potencies are manifested from Him, though the demigods Brahmä and Çiva are designated the position to work under the direction of the Lord. Here the Supreme Lord is being addressed in His aspect of Çiva (auspiciousness), as in this mood, He can remove our misconceptions due to false ego. The poetic language of the Vedas is written as such, so that those whose faith is firm in the modes of passion and ignorance will think these descriptions are referring to the demigods. While in actuality, the Vedas only speak of the Supreme Lord and His activities, manifested through His incarnations, devotees and unlimited potencies.
