Four times every day she must enter the room slowly and inquire from the said doll in a low voice what it would like to eat, how it felt, how it had slept, and whether it wanted anything. His orders were that she should put these questions for ten days. Meanwhile at his own house he would make the necessary sacrifices. At the end of ten days the sorcerer appeared and instructed her afresh. She was to ask the doll if anyone owed it money, or if it had buried jewels anywhere, or if anyone had promised it a reward. Let it tell the truth; for it could see the efforts they were making for its health, so that it might be cured. She was to continue thus for five days, doing these acts each day four times. His further orders were that the wife of Nicolao Borges should not sleep upon her bed, that she must diet herself, not washing her body or putting on fresh clothes. - [Previous: 266.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.1) - [Next: 266.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.3) - [Up: 266.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.266.1.2) · Pramāṇa
