कास-गद्गदत्व — कर्मविपाकः
तन्ममाध्यापनं देहि जाड्यं हर वरानने ।घंटादानेन तुष्टा त्वं दत्तेनानेन वाक्परा ॥
So give me the skill of teaching. Take away my dullness, O fair-faced one. You are pleased by the gift of the bell. May you, supreme speech, be pleased by this gift.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वाग्विरोधं गुरोः कृत्वा यन्मे गद्गदभाषितम् ।
I opposed my guru (teacher) in speech and spoke in a stammer. Destroy all that quickly, you Brahmi, purifier of the world. This is the mantra for…
अनुज्ञाय ब्राह्मणं तं स्वयं भुंजीत मानवः ।
Having taken leave of the priest, the man himself should then eat.
इति गद्गदत्वहरसरस्वतीदानविधिः ॥
This is the rule of the gift of Sarasvati that takes away stammering.
