The Siththars prefer a smooth life without enemies. We can find many songs where they stress that though one causes bad to us, we should in turn do well to them. Agathiyar narrates a trick in the following song that turns enemy into friend.
The following song is present in the book “Agathiyar maanthreega kaaviyam”.
"யெட்டான நகாரமுதை யகாரமான
yettaana nakaaramuthai yakaaramaana
இனிதான யிலைகளோ வில்வமாகும்
inithaana yilaikaloa vilvamaakum
நலமான செந்துகிலுடன் கிழக்குமூலை
nalamaana senthukiludan kizhakkumoolai
முளகுசிவ மாம்பலகை முன்னூற்றெட்டு
mulakusiva maampalakai munnoorrettu
தட்டாதே யுருவேற்றி யெதிரிபேரை
thattaathae yuruvaetri yethiripaerai
தானெழுதி யுன்பேரை மேலாகமாற்றி
thaanezhuthi yunpaerai maelaakamaatri
கட்டாகத் தகடெழுதி கையிற்கொண்டால்
kattaakath thagadezhuthi kaiyirkondaal
கடும்பகைவன் கேள்வானாம் கண்ணிற்காணே
kadumpakaivan kaelvaanaam kannirkaanae"
- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)
Take a copper sheet of 2” x 2” size and write your name on it. Below that write the name of the enemy whom you wanted to be your friend. Wear attire in red color and be seated on a wooden plank made out of mango tree facing east direction and place the sheet in front of you.
Chant “Namasivaya” and drop a pepper and the leaf of vilva tree on to the sheet. After doing like this if you keep that sheet in your hand, the most dangerous enemy will also become your friend says Agathiyar.
