Chapter 61 · A Brahmin Who Saved and Gave Nothing
स्वाती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
अस्य शान्तिं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि वरानने ॥गायत्रीमूलमन्त्रेण दशलक्षजपं यदा ॥ ८ ॥
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 Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) root mantra (sacred words).
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
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.
