LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
Vishuchika 37. You shall afflict those who feed
themselves on unwholesome food, who betake
themselves to vicious courses, who are ignorant or
ferocious, who live in insanitary places, and who
are wicked. You shall commingle with Prana Vayu
in the heart and afflicting people with the diseases
Padma, Pleeha 38 and others shall be (the disease)
Vishuchika. You shall enter both Saguna and
Nirguna 39 people. But in the case of entry in
Saguna men, to remedy the above disease, the
following Mantras 40 will have to be uttered:
ॐ ह्रां ह्रं श्रीं रां विष्णुशक्तये नमो भगिवि विष्णुशवक्त एवह । एनां हर
हर दह दह हन हन पच पच मथ मथ उत्सादय उत्सादय दरे कुरु कुरु
37 Vishuchika is the disease called cholera. The word is compounded of
„Vi‟ and Suchika. Suchika is from „Such’ to make known.
38 These are splenetic diseases.
39 Saguna men are the wise while Nirguna are the ignorant.
40 This is the Mantra to arrest cholera. Excluding the Beejaksharas such
as Om, etc., the meaning of the Mantra is thus Oh Vishnu Sakti, fit to be
worshipped, prostrations to you; please come here, take her, take her
(Vishuchika); burn her, burn her; kill her, kill her; cook her, cook her;
churn her, churn her; destroy her, destroy her; drive her, drive her; Oh
Vishuchika, go away to the Himalayas; oh the essence of Jivas, you are
of ( or go to ) the sphere of the moon‟.
