(65.3.6), the Raudri for the cure of diseases (64.10.10);
the Vayavy盲 for safety from wind (70b.4.1) and the Abhaya
Santi for freedom from fear (60.1.6). We, however, find
that the S盲ntis are prescribed by the Parisistas even for
occasions other than those laid down in the SK. For instance,
the Raudri Santi is prescribed also against omens and
portents (31.8.2 and 70b.10.1) and the Brahmi for securing a
kingdom (72.5.2). The Am峁泃a is to be performed in case of
fear from death (31.8.1). This performance seems to be
suggested by the sense of the word Am峁泃盲. We also find that
a number of s盲ntis like the Vaisnavi, Raudri, Aparajita
and V膩ru峁噄 are performed in order to avert the evil effects
of mens and the KauberI, Aditya and Aparajit盲, those of
evil dreams. It is true that the purposes, for which the
various S盲ntis, as laid down by the SK, are to be performed,
often overlap but it is difficult to agree on that account
with Bolling when he says that the scope of many santis is
so badly defined that "it is impossible to justify each
prescription of a certain form in the Parisistas."30
The main point of difference in these various
S盲ntis consists in the employment of different avapa-mantras
for them. The amulets to be used by the performer are also
different in different s盲ntis. Similarly these amulets are
to be tied with different mantras. These are next specified.
The 盲v盲pa-mantras are usually taken from a gana of the same
