Chapter 18 · Kshaya: past deeds
क्षय — कर्मविपाकः
उरःक्षतस्यापि क्षयरोगान्तःपातित्वात् व्याधिगुरुलघुभावेन क्षयरोगोक्तमेव कार्यम् । तद्वत्स्वरभेदस्यापि।
A wound in the chest also falls within kshaya (wasting disease). So what is told for kshaya should be done, by how heavy or light the illness is. The same holds for a broken voice.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अत्र प्रतिगृहीतृमुखं नावलोकयेत्
Here one must not look at the face of the one who takes the gift.
यदुक्तम् ।
As it is said: "O Bharata, a priest may be burnt by taking a bad gift. One should not look at his face afterwards. Nor should one speak with him."
इति महाभारतवचनात् । इति सर्वव्याधिप्रतिरूपदानविधिः।
This is from the saying of the Mahabharata. This ends the rule of giving a likeness for all illnesses.
