He would just murmur some words and the person would be healed. He would always go to the fields very late to work and would always return home after sunset. One day a man was returning to fields as he had forgotten something in the field. On his way he spotted the peculiar man walking home and he was shocked to see that the man’s feet had turned into hands and his head into the head of a goat or buffalo. The man got very scared and quickly returned home from another road.
