Chapter 56 · A Warrior of Gaya and the Buffalo Calves
चित्रा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
पथि मध्ये वरारोहे पञ्चवृक्षस्य वाटिकाम् ॥कारयेद्विभवेनैव विष्णुवृक्षादिभिर्वृताम् ॥ १२ ॥
He should make a garden of five trees along the road, O fair-hipped one. He should do it as his means allow, ringed with Vishnu's trees and others.
Classical view, not medical advice.
भोजयेद्देवि षट्षष्टिब्राह्मणान् वेदपारगान् ॥
O Goddess, he should feed sixty-six brahmins who know the Vedas well. He should make an image of gold of three nishka (a unit of gold weight)…
ब्राह्मणाय ततो दद्यात् विष्णुभक्ताय सुन्दरि ॥
Then he should give it, dear one, to a brahmin who loves Vishnu. O wide-eyed one, doing so he clears the sin done in a past life.
पापं प्रणाशयेद्देवि नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥
He destroys that sin, O Goddess. There is no need to doubt this. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets an excellent son.
