Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 1 · The Opening Rite
पूजनविधिः
अथ प्रश्नविधिः ।रविवारे च संक्रान्तौ शुभयोगे यथाविधि ॥वैधृतौ च व्यतीपाते विप्राणां च गृहे तथा ॥ २ ॥
Now the rite of asking. Do it on a Sunday, or when the Sun enters a new sign. Do it on a good yoga (a time-combination of Sun and Moon), by the rule. Or do it on Vaidhriti or Vyatipata, or in the house of brahmins.
Classical view, not medical advice.
देवतायतने चैव नद्यां वै सङ्गमोत्तमे ॥
Do it in a temple, or at a fine meeting of rivers. Or do it at one's own home, in a good place, above all.
स्नानं समाचरेद्रोगी मृतपुत्रः सपुत्रकः ॥
Let the sick person bathe. So too one whose son has died, or one who has a son. Whoever is troubled by past deeds should bathe, woman or man.
धात्रीफलानि लोध्रं च गोमयं तिलसर्षपान् ॥
Take amla fruits, lodhra bark, cow dung, sesame seeds and mustard seeds. Take seven kinds of earth, camphor, and vetiver root with nutgrass.
