Chapter 18 · Kshaya: past deeds
क्षय — कर्मविपाकः
निधाय पात्रे संपूर्णे तंदुलैः शतरूपकैः ।अलंकृत्य च सौवर्णं रूपं चागुरुलेपनैः ॥
Place it in a vessel filled with rice and a hundred rupaka (coins). Decorate the gold figure with a paste of aguru (agarwood).
Classical view, not medical advice.
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."
बाढमित्येव तद्रूपं गृह्णीयाच्चाधिभिः सह ।
The priest says "Be it so" and takes that form, with the mental pains. The text says that then the sick person and the giver reach a long life.
