Chapter 88 · A Brahmin Who Kept a Friend's Wealth
श्रवण नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
ब्राह्मणान्भोजयेद्दत्त्वा यथाशक्त्या तु दक्षिणाम् ॥ज्ञातिभिः सह भुञ्जीत ततो नृत्यं तु कारयेत् ॥१६॥
Feed brahmins and give a fee as you are able. Eat with your relatives. Then have a dance done. (Our text is unclear here: the word for 'after giving' may be spelled a little differently.)
Classical view, not medical advice.
गामेकां तरुणीं शुभ्रां कांस्यदोहां सवत्सकाम् ॥
Then give one young white cow with her calf and a bronze milk pail. She should be a good cow, covered with cloth. Give her to a brahmin who knows…
पुराणश्रवणं देवि चण्डिकाचरणार्चनम् ॥
Hear the Purana (old sacred stories). Worship the feet of Chandika (a form of the Goddess). Give food, and above all give ghee, O Goddess.
एवं कृते न संदेहो वंशवृद्धिर्भविष्यति ॥
Do this, and there is no doubt: the family will grow. All illnesses come to an end, and many comforts come.
