Chapter 29 · Punarvasu 2nd Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
ततश्च दद्याद्गां देवि ब्राह्मणाय शिवात्मने ॥दशवर्णास्ततो दद्यात् पात्राणि विविधानि च ॥३१॥
Then, O Goddess, he should give the cow to a brahmin who is Shiva in spirit. Then he should give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) and many kinds of vessels.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वृषभं च ततो देवि नीलवर्णं सुसंस्कृतम् ॥
Then, O Goddess, he should give a well-prepared blue-coloured bull to a brahmin. All wrong is wiped out.
भोजयेद्विविधैरन्नैः पायसैश्च समोदकैः ॥
He should feed a hundred brahmins, who are Rudra (a fierce form of Shiva) and Vishnu in form. He gives many foods, sweet rice-milk and sweet balls.
प्रतिमां दापयेत्पश्चाद्ब्राह्मणाय वराय च ॥
After that he should have an image given to a good brahmin. He should eat with his kinsmen. Then he sends the brahmins away.
