Note to p. 119. 
Bdghesar means ‘ the Tiger-God,’ from lag'll, a tiger, and eshivar, 
1 God.’ Compare also Herklots’s ‘ Manners and Customs of the Mussul- 
mans of India,’ p. 220, — “ After the demoniac is well filled with the devil, 
he sometimes screeching takes a kakra (large wick), continues lighting and 
extinguishing it by putting the lighted end into his mouth ; some, biting 
the neck of a fowl, suck its blood.”
