Chapter 3 · Name Letters and Chakras
युद्धजयार्णवः (चक्राणि)
मन्त्रौषधानि चक्राणि वक्ष्ये सर्वप्रदानि च ।चौरनाम्नो वर्णगुणो विघ्नो मात्राश्चतुर्गुणाः ॥ १ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 142, verse 1.
I will tell the spells, herbs and chakras that give everything. For a thief's name, the letters are multiplied. The vowel marks are taken four times. (Our text is unclear here: the word vighna, 'obstacle', does not fit the count.)
Simple meaning: Next come spells, herbs and chakras. For a thief's name, the letter count and vowel marks are counted.
नामवर्णैः समैः काणो वामेऽक्ष्णि विषमैः पुनः ।
An even letter count in a name shows blindness in the left eye and an odd count shows the right eye.
मात्रावर्णाश्चतुर्निघ्ना वर्णपिण्डे गुणे कृते ।
Multiplying the name's counts gives even for a woman and odd for a man. In a special case, a woman may die.
प्रथमं रूपशून्येऽथ प्रथमं म्रियते पुमान् ।
If the count leaves nothing, the man dies first. The question is read from the fine letters.
