Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 101 · A Minister and a Grandson
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
प्रतिमन्त्रे जपेल्लक्षं दशांशं हवनं ततः ॥दशांशतर्पणं देवि मार्जनं तद्दशांशतः ॥ १४ ॥
With each verse he should do 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra). Then comes a homa (fire offering) of one tenth of that. Then, O Goddess, a tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) of one tenth of that. Then a sprinkling with water of one tenth of that.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गोदानं तद्दशांशं च तद्दशांशं च भोजयेत् ॥
Then he gives cows, one tenth of that number. He feeds brahmins, one tenth of that again, O Queen of the gods. He does it with faith and devotion.
कूष्माण्डं नारिकेरं च पञ्चरत्नसमन्वितम् ॥
A pumpkin and a coconut, together with five jewels, should be given in the middle of the Ganga. This is to clear the past wrong.
वृषभस्तरुणः शुभ्रो घण्टाचामरशोभितः ॥
A young white bull, shining with bells and fly-whisks, should be given to a brahmin. A gift of a bed is especially needed.
