पूजनविधिः
देवतायतने चैव नद्यां वै सङ्गमोत्तमे ॥अथवा स्वगृहे चैव शुभे स्थाने विशेषतः ॥ ३ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
औषधैः समभागैस्तु स्नानं कुर्यात्प्रयत्नतः ॥
Bathe with these herbs in equal parts, with care. First please the gods and the ancestors with tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods)…
