in Kalmuckian worship, was a god of third rank, represented under a singular form. He appears only clothed about the hips. The figure has large eyes, a monstrous open mouth, is contracted, withihead turned back, as if in convulsions. This deity was sent to heaven to combat the evil daemons. He was victorious, and decapitated the spirits, from which he made himself a crown, ear-rings, and a long necklace, which extended to the belly. From the mouth through the body there runs a straight channel, which physicians use to give medicine. The idol is placed on the mouth of the sick, a pill is put into the channel, and falls into the mouth of the patient.
