Chapter 16 · Rohini 1st Pada
रोहिणी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तस्योपदानं वक्ष्यामि तत्सर्वं शृणु मे प्रिये ॥ॐ नमः शिवाय मन्त्रेण लक्षजाप्यं च कारयेत् ॥ ८ ॥
Dear one, I will tell the remedy. Listen to all of it. Let him have 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra) done. The mantra (sacred words) is Om namah Shivaya, which means Om, salutation to Shiva.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पार्थिवं तिलपिष्टेन गोमयेन तथा प्रिये ॥
Dear one, let him make an earthen image from sesame paste and cow dung. Let him worship it by the rules, with a mind full of devotion.
होमं वै कारयेद्देवि षडंशं दक्षिणां ततः ॥
O Goddess, let him have a homa (fire offering) of one sixth part done. Then he gives the fee. He gives gold to the teacher to cleanse the old sin.
कूपं खातं ततो देवि वाटिकां चैव कारयेत् ॥
O Goddess, let him have a well dug and a garden made. When this is done, there is no doubt. The illness goes away after that.
