रोहिणी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
आकृष्णेति जपेन्मन्त्रं लक्षं वै विधिवत्प्रिये ॥होमं कुर्यात्प्रयत्नेन तिलाज्यमधुना सह ॥ ८ ॥
Dear one, let him do 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra) by the rules. The mantra (sacred words) begins Akrishnena. Let him carefully do a homa (fire offering) with sesame, ghee and honey.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कुण्डे वै वर्तुलाकारे दशांशं तर्पणं तथा ॥
It is offered in a round fire pit, one tenth of the count. The tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) is done the same way. Above all…
दशवर्णाः प्रदातव्या गुडधेनुस्तथा प्रिये ॥
Dear one, he must give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours), and a cow made of jaggery. With care, by the rules, he gives a bed to a brahmin.
भोजयेद्ब्राह्मणान् शुद्धान् वेदपाठरतान् प्रिये ॥
Dear one, let him feed pure brahmins who love reciting the Vedas. They number seventy-seven. They are initiated and have clean minds.
