Chapter 89 · A Brahmin Among Outsiders
श्रवण नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गायत्रीमूलमन्त्रेण लक्षजाप्यं वरानने ॥हवनं तद्दशांशेन तर्पणं मार्जनं तथा ॥ ९ ॥
Do a lakh (100,000) of japa (repeating a mantra). Use the root mantra (sacred words) of the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant), O fair-faced one. Do homa (fire offering) of a tenth part. Do tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) and sprinkling the same way.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अतो वंशस्य विच्छेदो व्याधीनां चोद्भवस्तथा ॥
So the family line is cut off and illnesses arise. Hear from me the remedy for this fault, O Supreme Goddess.
सवृषं पञ्चगोदानं वस्त्रदानं विशेषतः ॥
Give five cows with a bull. Give cloth especially. Give a thousand pots, and a cow, O Goddess.
एवं कृते न संदेहो वंशवृद्धिर्भविष्यति ॥
Do this, and there is no doubt: the family will grow. Illnesses come to an end. There is no need to doubt this.
