om jum sah
On Kailasa Peak, in a beautiful garden strewn with various radiant jewels and garlands; scattered with different sorts of trees and creepers, filled with various beautiful flowers; in a grotto-temple adorned with various pure gems; in front of which are Kinnaris, softly murmuring and conversing, is seated Bhagavan Umanatha, the refuge; served by Brahma, Indra and Vishnu, by Jupiter (Guru) and Venus (Shukra) and hosts of Brahmins, Rishis, Siddhas, Aughas and Gandharvas; wearing a crescent moon as diadem, holding sword and trident, one hand giving boons, the other dispelling fear, peaceful, holding spear and bow, axe, shield, noose, javelin, knife, sprinkling Moon Kalas, holding an iron rod, bearing a mace and damaru and a 100 spoked discus; the Deva with 18 arms, ornamented with all the elements, naked, with 3 large open eyes and 5 faces, thrilled with bliss, the Ishvara, both Cosmos and Lord of the Cosmos, victorious, triumphant, His being one with Gauri, adorned with jewels of the serpent-demons, the Mahadeva, the Maheshvara, Shambhu, in the bound-lotus position, the dear Refuge of all. Having seen His sweet face, Parvati bowed and rose, and with a pleasant voice Gauri spoke to Parameshvara.
Shri Devi said -- Lord God, who is Shiva Deva, the Supreme Maha Mrityunjaya (Conqueror of Death), Adinatha, Protector of the World, Lord of Initiation, Ishvara. You have spoken to Me previously Mahadeva, Lord of the Gunas, Supreme Form of the Absolute! Now I wish to hear the 5 limbs. I request You to speak to me Lord!
Shri Bhairava said -- Because of Your devotion I will declare the previously unknown manual (5 Limbs) of the Supreme Lord Maha Mrityunjaya to You, (consisting of) Patala, Ritual Succession, Armour, 1,000 Mantra Names, Hymn and Mantra-Limbs. A sadhaka who knows this should conceal it.
Now firstly I shall speak of the section, beloved by the Lord of Initiation. his highest secret of all secrets should be concealed by sincere aspirants (mumukshas),
Now I will speak of the unfolding of the Mantra O Mahadevi, giving the fruit of initiation, celestial, bestowing happiness, objects aimed for, success -- Om Jum Sah Ham Sah, Protect! Protect Me! Sah Am Sauh Jum- This mantra is the wish fulfilling gem of the beloved Lord of Initiation.
There is no mantra as powerful as this for giving siddhi, desired results, and destroying enemies. It should not be given to the foolish, to the undisciplined, to those not on the path, to the bad, or those fettered by the five kleshas. This alone is the very blissful thing destroying enemies. This mantra ls the powerful King of Mantras, giving the fruit of inituation, like the wish-fulfllllng tree. Unless one previously prepares this King of Mantra it does not grant success, therefore one should prepare the mantra using methods indicated by the Guru. Only those who obtain this method from the Guru's hand should do this preparation.
This powerful King of Mantras is greater than the Aeon Tree! One should prepare it 400,000 times, or half that, O Maheshvari. One should never perform this method less than 100,000 times. One should give a tenth of recitation, a tenth of homa, a tenth oblation, a tenth sprinkling, and a tenth feeding. All this the sadhaka should do if he wishes to prepare the mantra. O Ishvari, one should give dakshina to the Guru as necessary ·
Then, Mahadevi, one should recite (the mantra) which becomes the giver of all success. Unless one doess this, there is no success, and initiation fails.
Now, Parvati, I speak of the rules relating to the unfolding of the yantra of Devadeva, which is all- alluring, heavenly, and the cause of all complete curse-removal. The Shri Chakra has bindu, triangle, hexagon, circle, 8 lotus petals, 3 circles and earth-square. Parvati, now I speak of the magical practice (Layanga) of the King of Mantras. Whosoever hears this doctrine may obtain the fruit of initiation. O Shire, In the earthsquare are the 10 Dikpalas, with their weapons, such as Indra and so forth.
In the 3 circles are the 3 lines of Guru, the Celestial, Siddha Augha, and Mortal Augha.
Shive, in the 8 (petals) are Asitanga, Ruru, Chanda, Krodhesha, Unmatta Bhairava, Kapalesha, Bhushana and Samharesha. Sincere seekers and sadhakas should worship these in the 8 petal lotus.
One should worship Kalagnirudra, Netresha, Vishvanatha, Maheshvara, Sadyojata and Vamadeva in the six yonis. O Devi, in the triangle one should worship Kameshvara, Mahakala Deva, and Svacchanda Bhairava. Shive, in the bindu one should worship Mrityunjaya Deva with his own Shakti. He is the Lord of Amrita, Ishana, ruler of the Three Worlds, with three parts, the highest pure Kala, with a necklace of pearls over His limbs -- in this way the best sadhakas should worship.
One should offer variously, O Devi, using scent, unhusked rice, flowers, incense, flame, food, paan, with parasols and fly-whisks. This is the magical practice (Layanga), hidden in all tantras, giving all siddhi, which one should conceal carefully.
Mahadevi, the Seer of this mantra is Maha Chama Pada, the metre is Gayatri, and the aspect of divinity Maha Mrityunjaya Rudra (known as) Mahadeva, the Primordial God. Devi, the bija is Om. The Shakti is Jum. Paramashani, the lynchpin is Sah. O Ishvari, the binding of the directions is 25 "Phats". The application is the famous four vargas. One should use Om Jum Sauh with six long vowels to bow with. The best of sadhakas should start with the heart first. Using the root bija one should do three pranayamas. One should sip water for the three tattvas which are Atma, Vidya, and Shiva.
Parvati, now I declare the meditation image (dhyana) of the God of Gods. Whichsoever mantrin meditates thus becomes one with Shiva. One should meditate on Mrityunjaya as having three eyes which are Moon, Sun and Fire; smiling face; seated within 2 lotuses, Whose hands hold Mudra, Noose, Wine and Rosary; effulgent as the Moon; with 10 million Moon Kalas of nectar drenching His body; begemmed wlth radiant pearls and so forth; charming, bewildering the Universe, the Pashupati.
In the centre of Rudra's forehead one should meditate on the circle of the Moon. By meditating on this place one may accomplish what one desires, and obtains freedom from death. In this way one should meditate on the begemmed mantra which Is the supreme seed of all, to obtain what one desires. One should carefully conceal this meditation on Rudra's head.
Now I speak of eight practical applications, hard to obtain, giving supreme results. The mantrln who should do these comes to resemble Bhairava, (They are) Paralysing, Deluding, Killing, Attracting, Subduing, Producing Peace and Promoting Health. Now I speak of those actions which cause great happiness. All siddhi comes via these magical methods in the Kali Yuga.
Shive, on a Sunday, having bathed, and having done the daily rite, firstly having made a resolution as to the number of timas to recite the mantra, one should recite it many times. A tenth of this one should offer as sacrifice (homa), using clarified butter and lotus seeds, Then one may accomplish paralysis of speech and mouth, causing (even such a great Brahmin as) Vivashvata to fall from caste.
On a Monday one should worship Devesha and should recite (the mantra) numerous times. One should give sacrifice of a tenth part using ghee, corn, parched grain, and vegetable leaves. Making a forehead mark using the ash one is able to delude the world.
On a Tuesday, the sadhaka, after bathlng, should go to a cremation ground. There he should recite the mantra numberless times, doing sacrifice of a large quantity of ghee, lotuses, various sweet substances, fruit of the Bel Tree, Devi, then one may kill one's enemy.
On a Wednesday, having bathed, one should worship in front of the Shri Chakra, and should recite the mantra numerous times, by a tenth part of this giving sacrifice of ghee, three thorns, bilva leaf. Then one may attract women.
On a Thursday, having bathed, one should recite the vidya a very large number of times. One should give sacrifice of a tenth part of that, using ghee, lotus seeds, sandalwood, sprinkling water and pieces of dead flesh. One obtains what one desires, gains victory over enemies, becomes a hero, wealthy, and lords it over adversaries.
On a Friday, the Lord Hero, in the cremation ground, should recite the mantra numerous times. Before an image of the root Vidya one should do sacrifice of a tenth part, using ghee, frog flesh, snail flesh. Then, most certainly, one may uproot enemies.
On a Saturday, having bathed, one should do puja and should recite the vidya a number of times. One should do sacrlfice using milk, water used for bathing the dead, wood of the vata tree, sunflowers, flesh of a tiger with dhattura flowers. Then one may accomplish pacifying,
Always, on any day, one should recite the mantra numerous times, using mutton, tortoise flesh, boar flesh, and various fruits and flowers. Then disease is removed from home, father and devatas. Having done sacrifice of a tenth part one promotes great health.
Thus the Inner Essence (mahatattva) of the mantra has been declared, One should carefully hide it from the undevoted as if It were Your own yoni.
End of the Patala
Hum Hum Mahakala praside praside Hrim Hrim Svaha
Shambhu Mahakala Shani, his body of sapphire hue, beautiful, celestial, resembling the cremation fire, holding axe, trident, arrow and a bow, enemy of the Puras and the conqueror of all other demons, sitting on the Meru mountain peak, in a state of samarasa, was bowed to by Gauri, and questioned.
Parvati said: Holy god of all gods, cause of devotion and grace, tell me what lengthens life, you have not talked of this before. Tell me about your mighty form which promotes friendship in the worlds. Tell me about your special Mahakala form. Relate the hymn of praise to Shani Mrityunjaya, who gives freedom from time, bestows immortality, destroys untimely disease and give the Shani mantra particular to this hymn!
Ishvara said: Gauri, I always love you because you love the universe! This is the highest secret of all secrets, heavenly, the cause of creation in the universe. I am going to tell you the hymn of Shani Mrityunjaya. It gives good luck, kills all enemies, cures all disease, saves from accidental death, and promotes good health and longevity.
Gauri, if you love me, hide this carefully! Maheshvari, listen to that which is hidden in all tantras!
Pippalada is the seer (rishi) of this mantra-song of Shri Mahakala Shani Mrityunjaya. Anustubh is the metre. Mahakala Shani is the god. Sham is the seed, ayasi is the Shakti, kalapurusa is the kilaka. When reciting it, its result is freedom from untimely death.
Do rishi nyasa, hand nyasa and body nyasa. Place Maha Ugra on the head, Yaivasvata on the mouth, Shani on the mouth, and Mahagraha on the arms. Place Mahakala in the heart, Krisnatanu in the genitals, Tuducara on the knees, and Shanaiscara on the feet.
After doing nyasa according to rule, the body becomes like Shani, the lord of time. Now I will tell you of the meditation nyasa for the body, which a person should do after meditating.

Bhagavan said: Now I speak of the characteristics of the Bhairava Agama, resembling a mass of fragments of collyrium, like the fire at the end of an aeon.
Five faced, seated on a corpse, with ten arms, the dispeller of anxiety, resembling a host of night flowers, the final peal of thunder, making a terrifying roar.
Having a gaping fanged mouth, and fearsome brows and eyes, enthroned on a lion-seat, adorned with vicious fangs, wearing a rosary of skulls, large in body, wearing a garment of elephant-hide, with the Moon as a diadem, carrying skull-bowl and a skull-staff, bearing a cleaver and a goad, with hands granting boons and dispelling fears.
A great hero, holding a vajra and a battle-axe. After worshipping Bhairava, one should meditate on she who is on his lap.
Similar to the fire causing dissolution, effulgent, like red lac and vermilion, with dishevelled hair and a mighty body, dreadful and truly terrific.
With a great belly and with five faces, each of which is adorned with three eyes, having horrible talons, the protectress of the fortress, adorned with a rosary of skulls.
A Devi with arms like Bhairava who carries Bhairava's weapons, thus is declared Iccha Shakti, who of her own free will goes lovingly on Bhairava's lap.
Thus should one meditate on the renowned Aghoreshi having the above form. Spoken of in all tantras, but never made plain , my essence is by no means clear and is hard to attain. In ailments, punishment, evils and so on, in various setbacks, in protection, for desires, in pacifying and in nourishing, for cowns and for brahmins one should worship (Bhairava Yamala). Resembling a himakunda flower, like the pearly effulgence of the Moon , resembling 10,000,000 Moons, like the clearest crystal.
(Chit Bhairava) is like the fire at the end of the aeon, red as the China rose, equivalent to 10,000,000 Suns. One should meditate on him as red or blackish in hue. Effulgent as a red lotus or like yellow orpiment , being of the nature of Will (Iccha), the deva bestowing the fruit of Icchasiddha.
One should meditate on (these forms) placed in the centre of a lotus and should worship, according to the ritual injunction with food, flower, incense and distilled liquor abundantly. The Devi resembling cow's milk, effulgent as a necklace of pearls like beautiful pure crystal, white as snow, pure as camphor, with four arms and one face adorned with three eyes. The Devi wearing white garments, ornamented with white pearls, seated on a deer with a vajra in her hand, very powerful, the (Siddha Devi).
The Devi carrying a noose and a goad, ringing a bell, is placed in the east of the god of gods. A man who meditates on her as one with himself is successful quickly. (Rakta Devi) resembles 10,000,000 Suns, is as effulgent as flaming fire, like a heap of vermilion, the form of lightning, inspiring fear, with three eyes and a terrifying face, with a large belly and a great body, pot-bellied, with pendulous breasts. [22]
Seated on a corpse, very powerful, wearing a rosary of skulls with a tiger skin around her hips, wearing the hide of an elephant. Naked, adorned with a garland of skulls, like great firebrands they shine and they glow.
With four arms and one face, holding a cleaver, a shield a skull and a skull-staff, placed in the south. One should meditate thus.
Dark red, the great light, skeletal with a deformed face, is Shushka, the protectress of the fortress. With one face and four arms, three eyes and a terrifying mouth, adorned with a necklace of teeth, a mighty-bodied one with dishevelled hair, adorned with a garland of skulls.
With limbs the tendons of which are like knotted cords, carrying a cleaver and a shield, her mouth full of meat and entrails, holding a pot in her hand. One should meditate in this way in the west of the god of gods, seated on a crocodile, with the throat of a buffalo, the shoulders of an elephant, horse's ears and the face of a ram, with diamond-hard talons like weapons, legs like a beast of prey and a crocodile, with the back of a tortoise and the tail of a fish - this is the renowned Kumbha.
Dusky like a blue lotus, resembling the autumnal moon and with three eyes and one face, dressed in dark clothes the colour of sapphire, adorned with sapphires, seated on the back of a lion, holding a bow and an arrow in preparedness, and carrying a dart in her hand, a great Devi. Meditated thus, she (Utpalahasta) is the giver of the desired fruit.
So in the four directions are situated the Devis of Bhairava, O Mother of Hosts! In the intermediate points are placed the Dutis, the south east being first and the north east last. Kali, Karali, Mahakali and Bhadrakali are the renowed Devis placed there. The Devis have two arms and sit on a lotus, carrying a knife and a severed head. The attendants of the door are Krodhana, Vrintaka, Karshana and Gajanana , with two arms, of deformed appearance and holding a cleaver and a shield. In the matter of pacifying acts, they are all-white, or in other acts according to their forms.
Now I declare the characteristics of the Rajaraksha. By the yoga of enveloping in a mantra, one should write the name in the centre.
Above this, one should worship the lord of nectar, who is Bhairava, dear one. Similarly, the Devis should be worshipped in the petals of the lotus.
Afterwards, one should worship the Dutis and the servants using the root mantra. On the outside of the lotus one should draw a very white Moon mandala. On the outside of this is a bhupura, marked with the vajra symbol. Having drawn it using rochana, kumkum or white milk, one should worship, in pacifying acts, using all-white ritual accessories, giving suitable food, and animal sacrifice of vicious beasts of prey.
The wise man should do homa using white sandal, mixed with camphor and ash, unhusked rice, sesame oil together with white sugar, ghee and milk. Great peace comes swiftly by worshipping the Mrityunjaya.
