Those who desire to have children bow down to her who seats on Karanja tree. Those eighteen evil spirits, fond of meat and wine and also other food of the same kind, live for ten days in the lyings in room. Kadru assuming a subtle form enters into the womb of a woman. And she there destroys the fetus. The mother is thus made to give birth to a Naga.
करञ्जे तां नमस्यन्ति तस्मात् पुत्रार्थिनो नराः। इमे त्वष्टादशान्ये वै ग्रहा मांसमधुप्रियाः॥ द्विपञ्चरात्रं तिष्ठन्ति सततं सूतिकागृहे। कदूः सूक्ष्मवपुर्भूत्वा गर्भिणी प्रविशत्यथ॥ भुङ्क्ते सा तत्र तं गर्भं सा तु नागं प्रसूयते।
