On the third night the female planet called Ghaṇṭālī affects the child. Frequent crying, yawning, shivering and loss of appetite are the main symptoms of the attack. Smearing the body with a paste of lotus styles, añjana stone and tooth of cow and elephant mixed with goat's skin is a good remedy for the illness. The child should be treated with the fumes got by burning the leaves of nāguṇa (a tree) and bilva and bali as aforesaid should also be offered.
