Note 75 — Chapter VI · THE EVIL EYE AND THE SCARING OF GHOSTS.
Reading edition
Some people, after seating themselves in the circle, make offerings to the evil spirits, while reciting mantras, to propitiate them more easily. The Kāli chaudas or the fourteenth day of the dark half of Ashvin is considered a suitable day for propitiating or subjugating evil spirits.75
