Chapter 66 · A Warrior Who Took Brahmins' Livelihood
विशाखा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
दशांशं विभवं देवि ब्राह्मणाय समर्पयेत् ॥वापीकूपतडागादि पथि मध्ये च कारयेत् ॥ ८ ॥
Give one tenth of your wealth to a brahmin. Build step-wells, wells, ponds and the like along the road.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहदानं ततो देवि सर्ववस्तुसमन्वितम् ॥
Then give a house with everything in it. Give it to a fine brahmin who knows the Veda.
आकृष्णेति जपं देवि लक्षमेकं च कारयेत् ॥
Have 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra) done with the Akrishnena hymn (a hymn to the Sun). Do a homa (fire offering) with sesame, clarified butter…
ततो गां कपिलां देवि ब्राह्मणाय प्रपूजिताम् ॥
Then give a tawny cow, well honored, to a brahmin by the rule. Adorn her with all ornaments.
