Chapter 61 · A Brahmin Who Saved and Gave Nothing
स्वाती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
पुनर्मानुषयोनिं च मृतवत्सत्वमाप्नुयात् ॥महारोगसमायुक्तो न सुखं लभते क्वचित् ॥ ७ ॥
Then he was born a man, and became a mritavatsa (one whose children die young). He suffers from a great illness and never finds joy.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अस्य शान्तिं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि वरानने ॥
I will tell the remedy for this. Listen, O fair-faced Goddess. He should do ten lakh (1,000,000) japa (repeating a mantra). He should use the…
दशांशहवनं चैव तदा पापक्षयो भवेत् ॥
Then a homa (fire offering) of a tenth, and the sin is destroyed. He should always meditate on Govinda and always sing the praise of Govinda.
नित्यं प्रपूजयेद्देवं शङ्खचक्रगदाधरम् ॥
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.
