Flowers and incense should be offered. It should be kept in a calm place, without having been perceived (aprakaṭa); nobody should be offered a sight of it. It should be covered with a clean cloth. If there is need, it should be struck with mustard seeds enchanted 108 times. It will accomplish all enterprises. [...]”
