Chapter 18 · Kshaya: past deeds
क्षय — कर्मविपाकः
पद्मपुराणे । क्षये कारणान्तरमाह क्षयी स्यात्क्षेत्रहरणादिति ।
The Padma Purana tells another cause: one may have kshaya (wasting disease) for seizing a field.
Classical view, not medical advice.
क्रियान्तरमाह बौधायनः ।
Baudhayana tells of another act: Have a fine banana tree made, covered all over with leaves. It has a bunch of fruit, and the fruit is of gold.
यथाविभवतः कुर्याद्वस्त्रेणावेष्ट्य सूत्रकैः ।
As his wealth allows, he should wrap it in cloth with threads. He should also feed priests with many kinds of food.
होमं चं कारयेत्तत्र पूर्ववद्ब्राह्मणेन च ।
There a priest should do a homa (fire offering) as before. He uses the verses that begin "hiranyagarbha" and their matching verses, as said earlier.
