The earthen pot carrying fire from a deceased person's home to the cremation ground — a practitioner following a corpse of a specific caste during a specific Nakshatra acquires this Handi and cooks Urad lentils in its fire to gain mastery over the Milan technique.

Milan, Mutkarni, Muth and Handi: names of one Maran process in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
The speaker says that in the Bhagatvaal field of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar one Maran process runs under different local names: in some places it is called running Mutkarni or running Muth, in some places Maran done through a Handi. One variant of it, found especially in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, is called killing by sending Milan. He describes it as a tantric process in which a Bhagatwal tantrik assembles a shakti and aims and projects its energy at his target, so that whatever form he gives that shakti, it goes in that very form and pierces the target.
How Milan is made siddha: the cremation handi and urad cooked in a chosen nakshatra
Asked whether such things really happen, the speaker says yes, this is a process in which it does, and goes on to describe in brief how it is made siddha. In Maran, cremation-ground things are used, and this prayoga is close to the Handi rites people have heard of ("handi udana", "handi chalana"). The full process is very complex and cannot all be told, he says; but there is one particular Nakshatra which people watch for, and in that nakshatra, when a corpse is going to the cremation ground, the caste is checked — if it is of a Shudra-related caste, especially the Teli caste, the aspirant follows it. In Sanatana Dharma fire goes from the house in a handi at a death; the aspirant gets hold of that handi by any means and, while the nakshatra still lasts, cooks urad in that same burning fire (how he cooks it is his own method) and keeps the cooked urad. That, the speaker says, is the first stage.
Why a Milan works only for a fixed time, and the rule after three failures
The speaker says that the whole Milan process later runs entirely on the effect of the urad grains cooked in the cremation Handi, and that is why it works only up to a fixed time. If the prayoga has been done on you three times and fails all three times, the practitioner cannot do the fourth himself: the fourth attempt has to be had done by someone else, or he has to stop and do it over again from the start. There are many more things in this, he adds, without listing them.
Muthkarni and the handi prayoga
The speaker says muthkarni prayoga and the Handi prayoga are also parts of the instant, Kritya-type marana. In the handi prayoga, some shakti first lifts the handi from the Chowki and then it is projected, sent to the targeted person, and through that handi his death is carried out.
Shroud cloth matched to the target's caste, and an unbroken handi from the cremation ground
The speaker says the putla needs the last garments of a corpse, called vaitalik or pishach vastra, taken from a body that has come to the Shamshaan at the right time, and the corpse must match the target's caste: to destroy a Brahmin one needs a Brahmin corpse's garment, for a Kshatriya a Kshatriya's. If the aim is only to give illness or pain, the garment is taken from a person of the lowest caste. Also gathered is the earthen Handi in which fire was lit and brought from the house, if it is found unbroken.
Village elders quieted a severely afflicted woman by gathering raw rice above her head and uttering a precise three-or-four-word formula
An educated indigenous woman was severely afflicted; after standard exorcism attempts failed, village elders gathered raw rice from above her head and uttered a precise three-or-four-word formula that immediately quieted her, then the consecrated rice was smashed in two pots before the deity, manifesting blood-like matter, resolving the affliction.
A coconut cut like the Kalika Yogini khappar can carry the lamp instead, though whether it gives a result of this level cannot be said.
One alternative may be taken, the speaker says, but whether a result of this level will be obtained from it or not cannot be said. As with the khappar you fill in the Kalika Yogini practice, in the same way you can cut a coconut and light a lamp in that as well. That kind of deep daan is to be done in Diwali in any case, so you can light such a lamp and sit with it.
How were the gathered energies taken out of the house?
He says the very thorny cactus plant was used to bring them out. The handi or hadiya people see was abhimantrit, and through the cactus plant itself — supposing there were five kinds of pret energy there — they were brought down onto them and kept, after which the nikari was done. It had to be completed within one day; if it was not fully successful in one attempt, because some paishachik shakti was simply not leaving, further prayogas were increased.
Maran karma is carried out through muthkarni, the running of the handi and similar means, as an astra mantra is used
When some person, some tantric, performs maran karma upon somebody in particular, then — just as some astra mantra and the like is used — in the same way, in ordinary bhagat practice there is muthkarni, there is the running of the handi, there is the sending of milan in prayogas of this kind. All this is done in the attempt at somebody's death.
How can one be saved from a handi prayoga?
In the present time, if a handi prayoga is really done anywhere, people do it directly very little, he says. And for being saved from it you do not need to do anything separate at all. Keep doing the seva-puja of your ishta; when a prayoga of this kind occurs you will not need to do any separate mantra japa. Your own ishta will be so strong that they will do all of it.
