Chapter 84 · A Trader Who Wronged His Brother
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
पलसप्तप्रमाणेन पूजां कृत्वा प्रसन्नधीः ॥देवदेव महादेव चर्मभस्मविभूषण ॥ १४ ॥
The image should weigh seven pala (a unit of weight). Worship it with a glad mind. Say: O God of gods, great God, you who are adorned with skin and ash,
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूर्वजन्मनि देवेश भ्रातृनाशः कृतो मया ॥
in an earlier birth, O Lord, I caused my brother's death. Forgive that wrong, O God. I come to you for shelter.
प्रतिमां पूजितां देवि मन्त्रेणानेन वै शिवे ॥
Give the image, worshipped with this mantra (sacred words), O Parvati, to a learned brahmin. He should know the Veda and be twice-born in spirit.
ततो वै भोजयेद्भक्त्या ब्राह्मणान्वेदपारगान् ॥
Then feed brahmins who know the Vedas well, with devotion. Feed a hundred and one, O Goddess, with rice pudding and sweet balls.
