Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 15 · Krittika 4th Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
प्रायश्चित्तं प्रवक्ष्यामि पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥गायत्रीलक्षजाप्येन तदर्थं वाटिकां पथि ॥ ११ ॥
I will tell the prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong) to wash away the past sin. Do Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) japa (repeating a mantra) 100,000 times. For it, make a garden on the road,
Classical view, not medical advice.
कूपं प्रयत्नतः कुर्यात्तडागं विधिपूर्वकम् ॥
dig a well with care, and a pond by the rule. Have a homa (fire offering) done by the rule, O fair-faced one.
पलपञ्चसुवर्णस्य दानं दद्याद्विशेषतः ॥
Give especially a gift of five pala (a unit of weight) of gold. Dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) is to be given, with gold and clothes.
भोजयेच्छतविप्रांस्तु यथाशक्ति सदक्षिणान् ॥
Feed a hundred brahmins as well as one can, with the priest's fee. When this is done, there is no doubt, disease ends.
