Note 196 — Chapter VI · THE EVIL EYE AND THE SCARING OF GHOSTS.
Reading edition
When a child continues to cry for a long time, the mother says, “keep quiet, Bāghada has come.” “Oh Bāu, come and take away this child.” “Bābara, come here. Don’t come, my child is now silent.” “May Bāghada carry you away.” These exclamations are uttered in such a tone and with such gestures, that generally the child is at once frightened into silence.196
