Putlā

Marana without any item of the target: what the practitioner must already have
The speaker takes the case where nothing connected to the target's body is available. Then, he says, the one doing the marana must himself have attained siddhi: he has Kritya prayogas and the like siddh, his deities are awakened, he has done anushthan of particular mantras, and guru-given vidyas are available to him. With that, at a special time such as Tara Chaturdashi, the prayoga is done through a Mandala and a Putla in the cremation ground.
Building the putla in a cremation-ground yantra
The speaker says that in this process a special kind of Mandala is made, and it is used mostly on the pyre ground, in the Shamshaan and such places. In the middle of that Yantra a Putla is made in the name of the person on whom the prayoga is to be done. The putla holds some special ingredients, some herbs are mixed in, and some tamasic substances such as the blood of a dog, a cat, a crow, or a bat.
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.
Tantric praan pratishtha of the putla and awakening the yantra's six parts
The speaker says the Putla built in the middle of the Yantra is given Prana Pratishtha, but not by the Vedic mantras used for an idol in a temple; the methods are Tantrokta, and all they need is the name and Gotra of the person the prayoga is aimed at. Once the pratishtha is complete, the shaktis of the related vidyas are awakened in the different parts of the yantra. He says six parts are counted, though there are ten, and most people use the six. When those are awakened, the striking of the target's body begins.
Piercing the putla with pins charged by vaitalik and pishachik mantras
The speaker says the final step is much like what films, serials and stories show, a pin pushed into a particular part of the effigy and the person dying at once, but the pin is not an ordinary one. It is kept for many days in the blood of a particular animal or in some vile place and awakened, that is, Abhimantran is done on it, with vaitalik and pishachik mantras. When that charged pin is driven into the Putla standing in the middle of the charged Yantra, the person who was targeted and given pratishtha there dies in abnormal circumstances.
In the brahma bhag a putla is made in the name of the person, given prana pratishtha, and laid upon a paan leaf
Having done all those things, then in the brahma bhag, that is the middle part, a putla prayoga is done in the name of the one upon whom the granth was made. That is, a puppet is made, its prana pratishtha is done by vidhi vidhan, and it is laid down upon a paan leaf — or, according to the kind of prayoga, the tree is taken and its leaf used, and it is laid on that. After that, if you have done the Datta mala mantra, then by that its tarpan will be done. Tarpan will be done of the putla that has been laid down, and through that tarpan the granth will be destroyed. This, he says, is one ordinary prayoga; there are a great many other vidhans.
How does a sadhak come to know of a kriya on his house?
The speaker says a house under the grace of the devi-devatas has a lightness and positivity you can feel; after the kriya, quarrels began in the house for no reason, and being sadhaks the family quickly sensed something was wrong. When you do sadhana, he says, your ishta shakti informs you through some medium, and the most special medium is the dream. In a dream they were shown a patalak kriya — a putla charged in someone's name by tantrokta vidhi and buried in a bad place — and that the relative had also come and sat in their house and left tantrik items there so that negative forces would reach the home.
