During the second year of its life the child is attacked by Rodanī. Shivering of the body, crying and emission of blood and urine form the main symptoms. In such cases bali should be offered with pudding of molasses and gingelly seeds made into small balls. Also an idol should be made of gingelly seeds and it should be bathed in gingelly water. The child should further be exposed to the fumes got by burning the leaves of five trees.
