Mr. C. P. Brown's Telugu Spells.
71

I will now state the spell used in the country of Ghurjara (Guzerat) composed by A′dinatha. This is a spell most potent to cause death. Let it be kept most secret.

Spell. (Same as given above with a mere variation in words and order).

Rule (same as above.)

Then offer a fowl with wine, flesh, &c., in a cemetery.

End of Chapter Tenth.

Charms used for vanquishing an enemy. Om nomo, &c., as above.

Salutation to Káli ………… as above.

Eat my enemy's flesh, drink his blood. Húm phaṭ, &c.

(Thus far is in Sanskrit—then follows, in Telugu).

Let this spell be recited 128 times, and throw a stone from the top of the house: it shall cause the death of your enemy.

Another spell. "Logic is chiefly used in the north, &c. &c," see page 2.

(The remainder of this book is merely a repetition of the first pages. First comes the Keraḷa (or Malayáḷa) spell. Then the same pages are again copied to the end of Chapter Tenth).

True translations as far as the original is intelligible.
