Prof. Danuta Stasik, University of Warsaw, suggests that the spell relates -rather - to the so called 'tertian/intermittent fever'. 

Could someone give me, please, a word-for-word translation of this spell?

Five years ago I sent to the List this question:

<< Mantras in popular Indian magic books - of indrajala type - invoke often two mysterious personages: Ismail Jogi and Nuna/Nona/Luna/Lona Chamarin. 

Has anyone written a paper on them. A monograph - perhaps?>>
​There was no answer. 

One such mantra runs as follows:

Oṁ namo kāmrū des kāmākhyā devī
Tahāṁ base ismāil jogī

Ismāil jogi ke tīn beṭā

Ek toṛe ek pichoṛe

Ek śīt tijārī goḍe


I am not sure about the meaning of this mantra. 

Ismail Jogi (contradictio in adiecto) had three sons:

one aborted (?), one retarded (?)

one coolly (?) in your (?) womb.


I would be grateful for your comments,
