Note 3 — Chapter VI · THE EVIL EYE AND THE SCARING OF GHOSTS.
Reading edition
When the effects of an evil eye cannot be removed by ordinary methods, the evil influence is said to have entered through the bones, ‘Hádi drusta padali.’ In order to remove it people bring the bone of an animal in the evening, and after besmearing it with oil and turmeric powder, wash it in hot water. It is dressed in a yellow cloth, and black and red ointments are applied to it. It is then waved round the affected person, and thrown away in some public place where three roads meet.3
