it is a sure and uptardy sign of the safe Siddhi of righteousness. (6-7-8)
Even an enemy becomes a friend when the dominant Navakara arises for the acquirement of all desired rewards by means of all ceremonious propitiations. Then it is that poison transformed into nectar and the worst of jungles become like a delighting place of residence. (9-10)
(By this mantra) even thieves become protectors, the stars become favourable and yield the desired blissful rewards;
(11)
goblins cannot inflict even a little pain, and all types of mantras, tantras and yantras are obstructed; that can do nothing bad. (12) Thanks to the abilities of the Panch Namaskaras, fire becomes a herd of lotuses, lion becomes a poor animal, and the wild elephant becomes ineffective like the young one of a deer. (13) That is precisely the reason why this Navakara should be recited with unstinted devotion by men, gods, birds etc. while sitting, rising, committing faults of falling down. (14)
Again, this Navakara which has,
the wick in form of faith, oil in form of honour to the deserving, and which destroys darkness of illusion and falsehood,
resides in the mansions in form of the minds of the blessed ones. (15) Herds of elephants in form of calamities do not come in the vicinity of the persons, the young one of a lion in form of Navakara resides in the greenery of the mind. (16)
