CHAPTER X.
WITCHCRAFT.
Dākans are of two kinds, human and of the order of ghosts.[1]
Girls born in the Ashlesha nakshatra on the bij or second day of a month, in the Kritika nakshatra on the seventh day of a month and in the Shatabhigha nakshatra on the twelfth day of a month, are believed to be human dākans. They cause the death of their husbands, and their evil eye injures all things and individuals that come under its influence.[2]
Women who die in child-bed, meet an untimely death or commit suicide, become Dākans or Chudels after death.[2]
