Chapter 75 · A Weaver and a Sparrow's Nest
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
चन्द्रार्कयोर्मन्त्रजपं गायत्रीजपमाचरेत् ॥लक्षमेकं वरारोहे पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥ १५ ॥
Let him do japa (repeating a mantra) of the mantras (sacred words) of the Moon and the Sun. Let him also do japa of the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant). Let it be one lakh (100,000) times, O fair one, to clear the old sin.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहवित्ताष्टमं भागं पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत् ॥
Let him spend an eighth of his house wealth on holy works. Let him give a tawny cow with her calf to a brahmin.
दशवर्णास्ततो दद्याद्ब्राह्मणान्भोजयेत्ततः ॥
Then let him give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours), and feed brahmins. Let him make an image of a sparrow with her young, O fair-faced one,
रौप्यस्य ताम्रस्वर्णस्य पञ्चविंशपलस्य तु ॥
made of silver, copper and gold, of twenty-five pala (a unit of weight). Then let him give it to a brahmin. Above all, let him give land.
