Chapter 61 · A Brahmin Who Saved and Gave Nothing
स्वाती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
नित्यं प्रपूजयेद्देवं शङ्खचक्रगदाधरम् ॥पीताम्बरधरं श्यामं श्रीवत्सेन विराजितम् ॥ १० ॥
He should worship every day the god who holds conch, discus and mace. He wears yellow cloth, is dark in colour, and shines with the Shrivatsa mark.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रत्यब्दं कार्तिके मासि तुलसीं विष्णुरूपिणीम् ॥
Every year in the month of Kartik he should worship the tulasi (holy basil), who is Vishnu's form. He should give lamps, together with his wife.
गोदानं शास्त्ररीत्या च गोदानाच्च वसुंधराम् ॥
He should give a cow by the rules of the books. After the cow, he should give land, O Goddess, as his means allow. He gives them to a brahmin…
एवं कृते न संदेहः पूर्वजन्मकृतं च यत् ॥
When this is done, there is no doubt. The sin done in a past life is destroyed. All disease fades away.
