| 9. Translation of colophon | Place the thread-cross ransom at the crossroads to suppress the yearly demons. Take it to where they are. The ritual for reversing [enemies by means of] sword-blades and weapons is over.The ritual of burying the enemy, averting murders and reversing [enemies by means of] sword-blades is over. Edited.
Chant the mantra, strike the effigy with an arrow, and feed the effigy to the raven when on a day when ro mi ’thebs pa (?), and the enemy will die of disease. The ritual of dri illess and illness of sharp pain is good! This should not be shown to all but kept secret. It is over. Virtue. Blessings. It is good, it is good. |
