Chapter 104 · A Teacher's Son and a Tulasi Garden
उत्तराभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
वंशगोपालमन्त्रं वै गायत्रीमन्त्रमेव च ॥हरिवंशश्रवणं देवि कुर्याच्च विधिपूर्वकम् ॥ ४ ॥
He should use the Vamsha-Gopala mantra (sacred words) and the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) mantra. He should also hear the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna), O Goddess. All this he does by the rules.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तुलसीवाटिकां कृत्वा तन्मूले विष्णुपूजनम् ॥
He should plant a tulasi (holy basil) garden and worship Vishnu at its root. Then he should give a dashavarna (a gift of ten colours). It destroys…
स्वर्णनिष्कस्ततो दद्याद्दशगोदानमेव च ॥
Then he should give a gold nishka (a unit of gold weight) and ten cows. When this is done, O fair one, a family line is born. It is not otherwise.
व्याधिनाशो भवेद्देवि सत्यं सत्यं न संशयः ॥ ७ ॥
Illness is destroyed, O Goddess. This is true, true. There is no doubt.
