चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
शिवस्य पूजनं चैव शिवभक्तिमहर्निशम् ॥नमः शिवाय मन्त्रं च पञ्चलक्षं च जापयेत् ॥ १९ ॥
He should worship Shiva and have devotion to Shiva day and night. He should have the mantra (sacred words) 'Namah Shivaya' said five lakh (500,000) times, as japa (repeating a mantra).
Classical view, not medical advice.
पार्थिवाँल्लक्षसंख्याकान् पूजयेच्च यथाविधि ॥
He should worship a lakh (100,000) earthen lingas (Shiva's sacred stone emblem), by the rule. The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' destroys all sin.
देहान्ते मुक्तिदश्चैव मर्त्यलोके च कामदः ॥
It gives freedom at the end of life, and gives wishes in the world of mortals. O Goddess, he should have a homa (fire offering) done in a fine fire…
चतुरस्रे विशालाक्षि तिलधान्यादितण्डुलैः ॥
The pit should be square, O wide-eyed one. Use sesame, grain and rice. Then, dear one, he should give a copper-coloured cow to a learned man.
