Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गन्धपुष्पैश्च ताम्बूलैर्वस्त्रैर्नानाविधैरपि ॥प्रतिमां पूजितां देवि ब्राह्मणाय प्रदापयेत् ॥ २३ ॥
With scents, flowers, betel and many kinds of cloth, give the worshipped image to a brahmin, O Goddess.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दशवर्णास्ततो दद्याद्वृषमेकं वरानने ॥
Then give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) and one bull, O fair-faced one. Then give a set of five vessels. Then feed brahmins.
रविवारेण संयुक्तसप्तम्यां विधिपूर्वकम् ॥
Fast on the seventh lunar day when it falls on a Sunday, O fair-faced one. Fast strictly, by the rule, with your wife.
सप्तवत्सरपर्यन्तं प्रकुर्य्याद्वै सुरेश्वरि ॥
Keep this for seven years, O Goddess. Then do the closing rite as you are able, O ever-kind one.
