Chapter 29 · Punarvasu 2nd Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
वृषभं च ततो देवि नीलवर्णं सुसंस्कृतम् ॥ब्राह्मणाय प्रदद्यात्तु सर्वपापस्य संक्षयः ॥ ३२ ॥
Then, O Goddess, he should give a well-prepared blue-coloured bull to a brahmin. All wrong is wiped out.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
यथाशक्ति प्रदद्याद्वै ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च दक्षिणाम् ॥
He should give the brahmins a fee as he is able. He should hear the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna), and worship the image made of earth.
