Images of the objects are present in the mirror, water, oil etc. Feelings of heat and cold are present in the living beings. Red colour is present in the gem of the sun i.e. ruby.

ये त्वाविशन्तीति वदन्ति मोहात्ते भूतविद्याविषयादपोह्याः ||२१||
These grahas neither remain with human beings nor enter into their bodies suddenly. If anyone says so, it is due to ignorance and they being devoid of any knowledge of Bhuta Vidya i.e. demonology.

असृग्वसामांसभुजः सुभीमा निशाविहाराश्च तमाविशन्ति ||२२||
The grahas which are likely to attack (seize or posses) the human beings are –

ते तु तत्सत्त्वसंसर्गाद्विज्ञेयास्तु तदञ्जनाः ||२३||
देवग्रहा इति पुनः प्रोच्यन्तेऽशुचयश्च ये |
देववच्च नमस्यन्ते प्रत्यर्थ्यन्ते च देववत् ||२४||
स्वामिशीलक्रियाचाराः क्रम एष सुरादिषु |
निरृतेर्या दुहितरस्तासां स प्रसवः स्मृतः ||२५||
Among these Nisacaras i.e. night prowlers, the attendants serving the deva gana (gods or group of divine beings) should be recognized by seeing that they too have qualities of mind similar to the Deva Grahas. Among them, those who are clean, have pure mind and are indulged in pure activities are identified as Deva Grahas itself. They are worshipped and prayed for. They are the children of Niruti i.e. grandfather of demons and they cannot discard the qualities of their birth and family.
These attendants being pure, follow the scriptures and perform activities accordingly. Therefore they are included under Deva Gana itself.
सत्यत्वादपवृत्तेषु वृत्तिस्तेषां गणैः कृता |
हिंसाविहारा ये केचिद्देवभावमुपाश्रिताः ||२६||
भूतानीति कृता सञ्ज्ञा तेषां सञ्ज्ञाप्रवक्तृभिः |२७|
The deva etc ganas enter the persons who have deviated from truth, cleanliness etc and afflict (possess) them.

विद्यया भूतविद्यात्वमत एव निरुच्यते |२८|

न शक्या बलिभिर्जेतुं योगैस्तान् समुपाचरेत् |३८|
The grahas which do not respond to the hymns prescribed in the texts of Bhuta Vidya cannot be conquered (subjugated or driven away) by merely offering oblations. They should be treated by administering medicinal formulae.

हिङ्गु मूत्रं च बस्तस्य धूममस्य प्रयोजयेत् |
एतेन शाम्यति क्षिप्रं बलवानपि यो ग्रहः ||३९||

The same ingredients can be made into sticks for use as collyrium. Decoction prepared from these ingredients is used for pouring on the body. They can also be made into dusting powder.

ऋते पिशाचादन्यत्र प्रतिकूलं न चाचरेत् |५५|
वैद्यातुरौ निहन्युस्ते ध्रुवं क्रुद्धा महौजसः ||५५||
No unclean things should be offered to Deva Grahas as oblation.
No other Graha should be treated with forbidden things other than Pisaca Graha.
If this is done, these grahas being very powerful would become enraged and will surely kill both the physician and patient.
हिताहितीये यच्चोक्तं नित्यमेव समाचरेत् |
ततः प्राप्स्यति सिद्धिं च यशश्च विपुलं भिषक् ||५६||
All regimens of foods and activities indicated in Hitahitiya Adhyaya i.e. Sutra Sthana Section, chapter 20, should be adopted in practice daily. Only by doing so, the physician would attain success in treatment and great reputation.
