Sometimes people ask if there are exorsism rites in Vaishnavism. The simple answer is yes, but most of them are hidden in Vaishnava Tantras.
Though, there is a simple way to remove
Picsaca / malefic Graha influence - water which remains after rites of ablutions, applied to The Murti of Bhagavan Shree Krishna.
It is said in "Shree Brahma-Purana" (Chapter 62 in Motilal English edition, Chapter 65 in Sanskrit editions, the numeration of Verses also differs in various editions):
अथ किं बहुनोक्तेन भाषितेन पुनः पुनः /
तस्य देवस्य माहात्म्यं मञ्चस्थस्य द्विजोत्तमाः // ६५.७४ //
यत् फलं सर्वतीर्थेषु व्रतैर् दानैश् च कीर्तितम् /
तत् फलं कृष्णम् आलोक्य मञ्चस्थं सहलायुधम् // ६५.७५ //
सुभद्रां च मुनिश्रेष्ठाः प्राप्नोति शुभकृन् नरः /
तस्मान् नरो ऽथवा नारी पश्येत् तं पुरुषोत्तमम् // ६५.७६ //
ततः समस्ततीर्थानां लभेत् स्नानादिकं फलम् /
स्नानशेषेण कृष्णस्य तोयेनात्माभिषिच्यते // ६५.७७ //
वन्ध्या मृतप्रजा या तु दुर्भगा ग्रहपीडिता /
राक्षसाद्यैर् गृहीता वा तथा रोगैश् च संहताः // ६५.७८ //
सद्यस् ताः स्नानशेषेण उदकेनाभिषेचिताः /
प्राप्नुवन्तीप्सितान् कामान् यान् यान् वाञ्छन्ति चेप्सितान् // ६५.७९ //
72-77. Of what avail is much talk?
O excellent brahmins, the Greatness of Bhagavan Shree Krishna is as follows. By visiting Lord Shree Krishna accompanied by Bhagavan Shree BalaRama and seated on the couch as well as Shreemati Subhadra-Devi, the man who performs an auspicious rite obtains the benefit which is glorified as the result of holy rites and charitable gifts in all the holy centres.
Hence, O excellent sages, the man or woman must see Purushottama.
Thereby he or she obtains the benefit of holy dip in all the Holy Tirthas.
With the water that remains after the ablution rite of Bhagavan Shree Krishna the devotee must bathe and sprinkle himself.
A barren lady, a lady whose child is dead, a lady in a wretched state or afflicted by evil planets, those who are seized by Raksasas, Bhutas and Pishacas, those who are afflicted by ailments should be sprinkled with water that remains after the rite of ablution.
They then attain their cherished desires.
पुत्रार्थिनी लभेत् पुत्रान् सौभाग्यं च सुखार्थिनी /
रोगार्ता मुच्यते रोगाद् धनं च धनकाङ्क्षिणी // ६५.८० //
78. She who seeks sons obtains sons; she who seeks happiness attains happiness.
She who is afflicted by ailments is liberated from ailments. She who seeks riches obtains riches.
पुण्यानि यानि तोयानि तिष्ठन्ति धरणीतले /
तानि स्नानावशेषस्य कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् // ६५.८१ //
79. All those sacred waters on the face of the earth do not merit even a sixteenth part of the water that remains after the rite of ablution of Bhagavan Shree Krishna.
तस्मात् स्नानावशेषं यत् कृष्णस्य सलिलं द्विजाः /
तेनाभिषिञ्चेद् गात्राणि सर्वकामप्रदं हि तत् // ६५.८२ //
80. Hence, O brahmins, one shall sprinkle one's limbs with the water that remains after the rite of ablution of Lord Shree Krishna has been performed.
It is the bestower of all desires.
