Chapter 9
Here is an anecdote. There was a man, who worshipped a female spirit, called 'Kama (she when under the control of someone, is said to, reveal to him all secrets). When anyone went to him, to get an answer for his question, he could know the question, and would answer it. He earned a lot of money. Someone wanted to learn his secret. He said, that he applied excreta to his ear and with the help of 'Kama a female spirit, he come to know, the question and answer into my ear. But at the time of his death he wanted to run to the bank of the river Narmada, so that he could attain salvation. But that female evil-spirit presented herself, as a female hog, and killed him. Thus, she took him to her abode. So, the worship of spirits, is forbidden.
But strivers, can offer oblations of food and water, to evil-spirits and ghosts, so that they may be liberated, from the life of evil-spirits. Even, saints and great souls, have done so.
