If (the demon bringing disease) Kumâra attacks the boy, the father covers him with a net or with an upper garment, takes him on his lap, and murmurs: Kûrkura, Sukûrkura, Kûrkura, who holds fast children. Ket! ket! doggy! let him loose. Reverence be to thee, the Sîsara, barker, bender.
'That is true that the gods have given a boon to thee. Hast thou then chosen even this boy?
'Ket! ket! doggy! let him loose. Reverence be to thee, the Sîsara, barker, bender.
'That is true that (the divine she-dog) Saramâ is thy mother, Sîsara thy father, the black and the speckled (two dogs of Yama) thy brothers.
'Ket! ket! doggy! let him loose. Reverence be to thee, the Sîsara, barker, bender.'
