Chapter 81 · A Merchant and a Friend's Goods
पूर्वाषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
पलैः शतैः सुवर्णस्य वेदीं कृत्वा विचक्षणः ॥तन्मध्ये च द्विजस्यैव रौप्यस्यैव च चाकृतिम् ॥१५॥
Let the wise man make an altar with a hundred pala (a unit of weight) of gold. In its middle let him place an image of the brahmin, made of silver.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूजयेच्छ्रद्धया देवि मन्त्रेणैव पुनः पुनः ॥
Let him worship it with faith, O Goddess, again and again, with this mantra (sacred words): O brahmin, you are Kapila, Vishnu, witness of all…
ममापराधं देवेश क्षम्यतां पूर्वजन्मनः ॥
Forgive my wrong of the past birth, O Lord of gods. The wealth of my friend was kept in my house by me.
न दत्तं वै मयाज्ञानात् क्षम्यतां परमेश्वर ॥
I did not give it back, from ignorance. Forgive me, Supreme Lord. With this mantra (sacred words), O Goddess, let the worship be done by the rule.
