Thus, in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa, in the "Ocean of Victory in Battle," the one hundred and forty-first chapter, called "The Knowledge of the Thirty-six Padas." || [Note 1: manuscript ja reads yathecchācāranirata.] [page 92, chapter 142] Now the one hundred and forty-second chapter: mantras, herbs, and so forth. Īśvara said: I shall declare the mantras, the herbs, and the diagrams, which grant everything. The letter-count of the thief's name is doubled, and the syllabic measures (are taken) fourfold.

nāmnā hṛte bhaveccheṣadyauro 'tha jātakaṃ vade praśne ye viṣamā varṇāste garbhe putrajanmadāḥ
When (the number) has been reduced by the name, the remainder is (the indication of) the thief. Now I shall speak of the natal reckoning: in a query, those letters that are odd portend the birth of a son in the womb.

नामवर्णैः समैः काणो वामे ऽक्ष्णि विषमैः पुनः दक्षिणाक्षि भवेत् काणं स्त्रीपुन्नामाक्षरस्य च
