Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
Participant reports bodily lightness; mother reports incomplete improvement for roughly one month.
Attributed origins
Responds to an attributed repeat harmful তাবিজ act; external causation is not verified.
What is uncertain
Body extraction and subsequent lightness belong to the participant’s report, with qualified improvement reported by the mother. Do not silently change উডানো to উঠানো or উড়ানো, equate wearing and removing amulets, or claim actual internal objects or ritual efficacy.
