Chapter 20 · Kasa and Gadgadatva: past deeds
कास-गद्गदत्व — कर्मविपाकः
तद्विष्णोरिति सूक्तेन जपं कुर्याद्द्विजोत्तमः ।पूजयेद्भोजयेद्दद्यात्तन्मना नान्यमानसः ॥
The best of the twice-born should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the sukta (Vedic hymn) that begins "tad vishnoh". With his mind fixed on this and on nothing else, he should worship, feed priests and give.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अत्रैव कारणांतरं विधानांतरमभिधीयते । लवणमधुकृष्णाजिनमहादानादिकुरुक्षेत्रादिविशिष्टदेशेषुग्रहणादिविशिष्टकालेषु निषिद्धदातृभ्यः प्रतिगृह्णाति । स्वयमपात्रीभूतो जन्मान्तरे पामाकंडूपीड्यमानः श्वासी कासी कृमिकुक्षिश्च भवति ।
Another cause and another rite are now told. Some take gifts from givers who are not allowed to give. These are gifts such as salt, honey, black…
तदुपशांतये महिर्षीं यथोक्तविधानां दद्यात् । वित्तशाठ्यं विवर्जयेत् ।
To bring peace to this, he should give a she-buffalo, in the way already described. He should not be mean with money.
यतः
Because: A gift given for a wish brings happiness when it is complete. When it is not complete, it brings dosha (fault), here and in the next world.
