Let me see you without any hindrance!
Now hold the mala in your hand, and with each hand grasp beads at random.
Pull three beads each from each side; moving the hands toward each other, until one, two, or three beads remain.
Repeat this three times and note each result.
Result interpretation:
One remaining bead is called Falcon. If you have a Falcon on your first round, it indicates support from protectors, luck in new endeavors, and success in lawsuits.

If you have a Falcon on the third round indicates expected guests will arrive imminently, or you will have news of them.
Two beads remaining is called Raven. A Raven on the first round means little support from the protectors, nothing can be accomplished, lawsuits will be unsuccessful, and enemies have the upper hand.
A Raven on the second round indicates serious illness and a decline in force. Things will be lost or stolen.
A Raven on the third round indicates bad luck for travelers, and sicknesses will not be cured.
Three beads remaining is called Snow Lion. A Snow Lion on the first round indicates middling support from the protectors, slow accomplishment, and weak enemies. This is generally a neutral result.
A Snow Lion on the second round indicates dangers to health that could nevertheless be resolved. Things lost or stolen can be found.
A Snow Lion on the third round indicates late arrival for travellers, and some difficulty finding the right treatment for illness.

- First attempt: Two
- Second Attempt: Three
- Thirst Attempt: One
Than the result can be interpreted as under:
· Two beads remaining is called Raven. A Raven on the first round means little support from the protectors, nothing can be accomplished, lawsuits will be unsuccessful, and enemies have the upper hand.
