Vishwaa ka Mantra: Folk Rites, Folk Mantra for Foul in the Cattle Foot from Kumaun and Garhwal

ओउम नमो गुरु को आदेस

काली काली तेरो कालिया कंहा गयो

चौ गंगू पार चौ गंगू पार गयो

व क्या लायो

पान पता दुरी दुरी नक्या करलो

जंगू को जंगिलो , काख को कखिलो

मणि को मणिलो

पीठि को नरिया , दुधि को सब मुख्या

अगुली को गदडा

खुर्या बार से रोग विस्वा काटी कूटी

सात समुन्दर पार बवाऊंलो

जाल टेके सिरु चढी , पेट पढी

इश्वर महादेव कि दुहाई

उन्द रड़ी , उभ रड़ी

उब सरी

हणाइ टणाइ खाकी पाकी दुखी

त ईश्वर मध्य देव पार्वती , धन्वन्तरी वैद तेरी दूवाई

फोर मंत्र इश्वरो वाच:

         The mantra is either very new (may be two hundred years old) or the collector or editor changed some old Braj/Khadi Boli  words into Garhwali words as उन्द रड़ी , उभ रड़ी .
