Chapter 32 · Daha: past deeds
दाह — कर्मविपाकः
अथ सर्वांगदाहरोगस्य कर्मविपाकमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च । अथ कपिलग्रहे यः पुनः अग्नौ ष्ठीवति तं कपिलनामा ग्रहो गृह्णाति । स तत्क्षणाज्ज्वरशूली सर्वांगदाही पीतनयनश्च भवति ।
Next, the text tells the past-deed cause of burning over the whole body, and its remedy. Now, about the spirit Kapila. If a person spits into fire, a seizing spirit named Kapila seizes him. At once he may get fever with sharp pain, burning all over the body, and yellow eyes.
Classical view, not medical advice.
बलिं च निशि चतुष्पथेपि पिष्टलाजपिण्याकरुधिरतिलध्वजगंधपुष्पैर्मंत्रेण दद्यात् ॥
At night, at a crossroads, he should give a bali (offering to spirits) with the mantra. It is made of rice paste, parched grain, oil-cake, blood…
प्रगृह्णीष्व बलिं चेमं कपिलाख्य महाग्रह ।
"O Kapila, great seizing spirit, take this offering. Give the sick person comfort and success, and great reward."
इतिमन्त्रः ।
This is the mantra.
