कृमि — कर्मविपाकः
This is the Krimi karmavipaka chapter of Vira Simhavaloka, on the past-life deed the text links to this trouble. It is a short chapter of four units.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The text links this trouble to killing an elephant, a cow or a horse in a past life. It gives the gift of dark bulls as the remedy.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Next, the result of past deeds behind worm disease, and its remedy, are told.
Krimi (worms) - past deeds
कुञ्जरधेन्वश्वघाती च कृमिकुक्षिर्भवेन्नरः ।स नीलवृषभान्दद्यात् ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च भोजनम् ।
The text speaks of a man who killed an elephant, a cow or a horse. He may be born with worms in the belly. He should give dark bulls, and give a meal to priests.
Krimi (worms) - past deeds
मृते भर्तरि या नारी नीलवस्त्रं प्रधारयेत् ।सा मृता नरकं याति कृमिकुक्षिस्ततः परम् ॥
The text says that a woman who wears dark cloth after her husband has died goes to hell after death. After that, she may be born with worms in the belly.
This is so by the saying above. "After that" means in the next birth. This ends the rule of giving a bull, meant to ease worms in the belly.
Unit 12.2 names dark bulls and a meal for priests. Unit 12.4 closes the rule of giving a bull.
