Chapter 106 · A Warrior and His House Priest
उत्तराभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
क्रोधतः क्षत्रियस्यापि बभूव मरणं यतः ॥पुरोहितस्य विप्रस्य सप्ताहाच्च सुतक्षयः ॥ ३ ॥
In anger the kshatriya caused a death. The house priest, the brahmin, lost his son within a week.
Classical view, not medical advice.
व्याधिपीडागुल्मजालैः पीड्यते सततं हि सः ॥
He is always troubled by illness, pain and many swellings in the belly. He should do 500,000 japa (repeating a mantra). The mantra (sacred words) is…
गृहवित्तषडंशेन पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत ॥
He should do holy works with one sixth of the wealth of his house. Then, O Goddess, the wise man should have an image of a brahmin made.
पूजयित्वा ब्राह्मणाय दत्त्वा पापनिवृत्तये ॥
He should worship it and give it to a brahmin to end the wrong. He should also give a brahmin five pala (a unit of weight) of gold.
