Chapter 110 · A Salt-Maker and a Friend's Jewels
रेवती नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
शरीरे जायते व्याधिर्भार्या तस्य मृतप्रजा ॥अस्य पापस्य शमनीं शान्तिं शृणु वरानने ॥ १३ ॥
Illness comes in his body. His wife has children who die. Hear the remedy, O fair-faced one, that quiets this wrong.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहवित्ताष्टमं भागं ब्राह्मणाय समर्पयेत् ॥
He should give one eighth of his household wealth to a brahmin. He should have a homa (fire offering) done, O Goddess. The fire pit is well made…
चतुरस्रे वरारोहे दशांशं विधिपूर्वकम् ॥
The pit is square, O fair one. The homa (fire offering) is one tenth, by the rules. Tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) is one tenth…
गां सवत्सां ततो दद्यात्स्वर्णरत्नविभूषिताम् ॥
Then he should give a cow with her calf, decorated with gold and jewels. Afterwards he should feed brahmins. The wise man should give a pumpkin.
