In order to propitiate this diety. and to have visible external marks of such a favour, the Hindus of Goa, more particularly the lower classes. send their children, and not infrequently also go themselves in their company to the house of a relative or an acquaintance where small-pox may happen to be raging; and when they as well as their Children are attacked consider themselves fortunate in having secured the goddess's favour.
