On the first day, month, or year, the Mother named Nandanā seizes [the child]. As soon as it is seized by her, fever arises first; it emits an inauspicious sound, makes gasping noises, and does not take the breast. I shall state the offering for her, by which well-being is achieved: having taken clay from both banks of a river, made a doll, [taking] white cooked rice, white flowers, seven white flags, seven lamps, seven svastikas, seven vaṭakas, seven deep-fried cakes (śaṣkulikā), jambulikās, seven handfuls, perfume, flowers, betel, fish, meat, liquor, and the foremost portion of cooked food, the offering should be given at midday at a crossroads in the eastern direction. Then, throwing an aśvattha leaf into a water-pot, one should bathe [the child] with pacifying water. One should fumigate the child with garlic, white mustard, meṣaśṛṅga, nimba leaves, and offerings discarded from Śiva worship. “oṃ namo nārāyaṇāya amukasya vyādhiṃ hana hana muñca muñca hrīṃ phaṭ svāhā .” Having thus given the offering for three days, on the fourth day one should feed a brāhmaṇa; then well-being is achieved. 88
