[INDOLOGY] Ismail Jogi mantra

[Artur Karp]

Five years ago I sent to the List this question:

<< Mantras in popular Indian magic books - of indrajala type - invoke often
two mysterious personages: Ismail Jogi and Nuna/Nona/Luna/Lona Chamarin.

Has anyone written a paper on them. A monograph - perhaps?>>

​There was no answer.


One such mantra runs as follows:



*Oṁ namo kāmrū des kāmākhyā devī*


*Tahāṁ base ismāil jogī*


*Ismāil jogi ke tīn beṭā*


*Ek toṛe ek pichoṛe*


*Ek śīt tijārī goḍe*



I am not sure about the meaning of this mantra.


Ismail Jogi (contradictio in adiecto) had three sons:


one aborted (?), one retarded (?)


one coolly (?) in your (?) womb.



I would be grateful for your comments,
