One should offer oleander wood, mustard seed, mixed with marine salt (saindhavalavaṇa) 108 times. After the 108 fire oblations have been completed, all Nāgas send down rain showers. They all send down rain showers in Jambudvīpa, all around in the four directions. All of them become zealous. All Nāgas rejoice”.
