Cakradatta (Cikitsasangraha) 63.99

On the twelfth day, month, or year, if the mātṛkā named Kāmukā seizes [the child]: as soon as it is seized by her, fever occurs first. Laughing, [the child] makes sounds; it threatens with its hand, grasps, paces, sighs again and again, and takes no food. I shall declare the offering for it by which good fortune is attained: having made an effigy out of condensed milk, [with] perfume, betel, white flowers, seven white flags, seven lamps, seven pūpikā cakes, and curd-rice held in the hand, one should present the all-action offering, and bathe [the child] with water for pacification. One should fumigate with the remains of Śiva's flower-offerings, guggulu, mustard, and clarified butter: “Oṃ, salutation to Nārāyaṇa! Release, release! Slay, slay! Svāhā.” On the fourth day, one should feed a brāhmaṇa; then the child becomes healthy. // 99
