Chapter 18 · Kshaya: past deeds
क्षय — कर्मविपाकः
शतेन वा तदर्धेन त्रिंशता निष्कसंख्यया ।जातरूपमयं व्याधिं प्रतिरूपं तु कारयेत् ॥
Make the likeness of the illness in gold. It should weigh a hundred nishka (gold coin weight), or half of that, or thirty.
Classical view, not medical advice.
निधाय पात्रे संपूर्णे तंदुलैः शतरूपकैः ।
Place it in a vessel filled with rice and a hundred rupaka (coins). Decorate the gold figure with a paste of aguru (agarwood).
वासोयुगेन संवेष्टच हिरण्यबहुभूषणैः ।
Wrap it in a pair of cloths, with gold and many ornaments. Give it to a priest who has been adorned, and say this mantra:
ये मां रोगाः प्रबाधन्ते देहस्थाः सततं ततः ।
"O best of priests, take in this likeness the illnesses that always trouble me in the body."
