Note 61 — Chapter III · DISEASE DEITIES.
Reading edition
In the case of kharavā the ailing animal is made to move about in hot sand and is treated with salt, which is first fried on the fire of Holi. The remedy for the disease known as kumbhava is to give a dose of castor oil, sanchal, ajamo and hot water to the sick animal and also to tie a magic thread round its neck.61
