dantākṛṣṭiḥ prasuptānāṃ bālānāṃ daśanasthitaḥ /
karoti dantasaṃgharṣaṃ cikīrṣurduḥ sahāgamam //

Dantākṛṣṭi[2] taking his station in the teeth of newly born children produces intense wind,[3] with the desire of effecting an attack from Duḥsaha, The remedy against him is to be applied by men by means of white mustard cast upon the bed and upon the teeth of the sleeping child; and by bathing it with medicinal herbs of great splendour, by reciting good scriptures,[4] and by supporting[5] it on a camel, a thorn, a sword, a hone, or a linen cloth.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
