Chaubatiya Mantra: A Folk Mantra, Folk Rites or Folk Rituals about Demonology from Garhwal and Kumaun

ॐ नमो आदेस,

जै गुरु की विद्या तै गुरु को आदेस,

श्री गुरु दाता ज्ञान सौ वारौ,

डंक बजाओ बड़ा बेटा जोगणी सिद्ध,

उनके साथ कौन कौन चले,

काली कपाली उनके साथ चले

हाथ कालो, तेरो केश कालो ,

तेरो दंत कालो,

तेरा भाई कालो,

तेरा मित्र कालो ,

तेरे साथ में चौसठी जोगणी क़ाली,

माथे देऊ तेरे सिंदूरी की बिंदी

भेंट लगाऊं तेरे लौंग का जोड़ा,

कौणियूँ के ज्युन्दाल तेरे मस्तक लगाऊँ ,

चौबटिया मसाणी कु वेदी लाया लगाऊं

सवा पांच सेर तेरी पूजा लगाऊं ,

फोर मंत्र इश्वरो वाचा:
