Chapter 14 · Pandu and Kamala: past deeds
पाण्डु-कामला — कर्मविपाकः
एवमावाह्य तां देवीं गन्धमाल्यैः समर्चयेत् ॥उपचारैः षोडशभिराचार्यः सर्वशास्त्रवित् ।
Having called the goddess in this way, the teacher should honour her. He knows all the sacred books. He should use scent, garlands and sixteen acts of worship.
Classical view, not medical advice.
होमं चापि प्रकुर्वीत समिदाज्यतिलैः सह ॥
He should also do a homa (fire offering) with samidh (sacred firewood), ghee and sesame. The samidh offering is made with the Vedic mantra that…
मंत्रः प्रकीर्तितश्चाग्नौ तिलाज्याहुतिभिर्हूयात् ॥
The mantra has been told. With it, offer sesame and ghee into the fire. Then place a pot wrapped in cloth.
स्थापयेदव्रणं शुभ्रमश्वस्थानादिमृत्तिकाः ॥
The pot should be whole, clean and without a crack. Put in earth from a horse stable and other places. Then fill it with clean water.
