He fumigates (the child) with small grains mixed with mustard seeds. These he throws into the coals (of the Sûtikâgni) (eleven times, each time with one of the following Mantras):
(a) 'May Sanda and Marka, Upavîra, Sândikera, Ulûkhala, Kyavana vanish from here. Svâhâ!
(b) 'Âlikhat, Vilikhat, Animisha, Kimvadanta, Upasruti. Svâhâ!
(c) 'Aryamna, Kumbhin, Satru, Pâtrapâni, Nipuni. Svâhâ!
(d) 'May Ântrîmukha, Sarshapâruna vanish from here. Svâhâ!
(e) 'Kesinî, Svalominî, Bagâbogâ, Upakâsini—go away, vanish from here. Svâhâ!
(f) 'The servants of Kuvera, Visvavâsa (?), sent by the king of demons, all of one common origin, walk through the villages, visiting those who wake (?). Svâhâ!
(g) '"Kill them! Bind them!" thus (says) this messenger of Brahman. Agni has encompassed them. Indra knows them; Brihaspati knows them; I the Brâhmana know them who seize (men), who have prominent teeth, rugged hair, hanging breasts. Svâhâ!
(h) 'The night-walkers, wearing ornaments on their breasts, with lances in their hands, drinking out of skulls! Svâhâ!
(i) 'Their father Ukkaihsrâvyakarnaka walks (?) at their head, their mother walks in the rear, seeking a vikhura (?) in the village. Svâhâ!
(k) 'The sister, the night-walker, looks at the family through the rift (?)—she who wakes while people sleep, whose mind is turned on the wife that has become mother. Svâhâ!
(l) 'O god with the black path, Agni, burn the lungs, the hearts, the livers of those (female demons); burn their eyes. Svâhâ!'
