“To perform the increasing rite, draw a nine-compartment circle with an inner and outer rim on birch bark, using either saffron or bezoar. In the central compartment write sarvapuṣṭiṃ kuru oṁ a, and in each of the eight inner compartments, write oṁ. In the eight outer compartments, write oṁ oṁ oṁ | oṁ tā oṁ | oṁ re oṁ | oṁ tut oṁ | oṁ tā oṁ | oṁ re oṁ | oṁ tu oṁ | oṁ re oṁ. Then place the circle inside a clay amulet and worship it with yellow flowers, such as the nāga flower, and the five offerings at the four times each day for seven days, starting on the full moon. Your lifespan and merit will thereby be increased.”
