Chapter One Second Mantra 1.8 oṁ garuḍa haṃsa he he cala cala svāhā |

Oṁ, garuḍa! Swan! Hey, hey! Move, move! Svāhā!

The mere thought of this king of mantras will stop a hailstorm. By inscribing it on a kettle drum with chalk and chanting over the drumstick, one can then use the sound of the drum to stop a hailstorm. The same can be done with the sound of a conch, etc.
