Chapter 18 · Kshaya: past deeds
क्षय — कर्मविपाकः
पूर्णां मासं जपेन्मृत्युरोगेभ्यश्च प्रमुच्यते ।होमकर्मण्यशक्तानां जपस्तद्विगुणो भवेत् ॥
for a full month. The text says he is then set free from death and illnesses. For those who cannot do the homa (fire offering), the japa (repeating a mantra) should be twice as much.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पद्मपुराणे । क्षये कारणान्तरमाह क्षयी स्यात्क्षेत्रहरणादिति ।
The Padma Purana tells another cause: one may have kshaya (wasting disease) for seizing a field.
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.
