 Angam Charms. 



There is another class of charms, which, though intended to in- 

 jure others like Hooniyan, have yet been called by a different name, 

 and are supposed to have been originated by a different Irshi.

 varying from a day to 30 or 40 years from the time of the Jeewa- 

 ma, and to cause death generally by slow degrees, preceded by a 

 variety of diseases, of which insanity, paralysis in the limbs, and 

 extreme heat in the region of the chest are the most common; these 

 are supposed to be more speedy in their effects, death taking place 

 invariably within seven hours, without any previous indication of 

 disease other than a throwing up of blood through the nose and 

 mouth. These charms are called Angams, of which there are on 1
