Chapter 109 · A Brahmin and a Teacher's Images
रेवती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
हवनं तद्दशांशेन तर्पणं मार्जनं तथा ॥तुलसीवाटिकां कृत्वा तन्मूले विष्णुपूजनम् ॥ १५ ॥
Then comes a homa (fire offering) of one tenth of that. Then come tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) and marjana (sprinkling). He should plant a tulasi (holy basil) garden. He should worship Vishnu at its root.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दशवर्णगवां दानं शय्यादानं विशेषतः ॥
He should give cows of ten colours, and a gift of a bed especially. Afterwards he should feed a hundred of the best brahmins.
विष्णोश्च प्रतिमां कृत्वा सौवर्णीं दशभिः पलैः ॥
He should make a golden image of Vishnu of ten pala (a unit of weight). He should worship it by the rules and give it to a brahmin.
एवं कृते न संदेहो वंशो भवति नान्यथा ॥ १८ ॥
When this is done, there is no doubt. A family line is born. It is not otherwise.
