Placing then both hands above the copper vessel filled with water, he should then evoke the son of Kasiappa, or any other sage of past time, asking him to listen to the praises that he addresses to Nari and to recite them with him.
The spirit having appeared he should repeat in a loud voice the following words, in honor of the universal mother.
Invocation to Nari. O divine spouse of him who moves upon the waters, preserve me, both during the day and during the night. You are of a spiritual nature. You are the light of lights. You are not subject to human passions. You are eternal. You are all-powerful. You are purity itself. You are the refuge of men. You are their salvation. You are knowledge. [p. 67] You are the essence of the sacred scriptures. By your constant fruitfulness the universe is sustained. You are the figure of evocation. You are prayer.
