Chapter 34 · Apasmara: past deeds
अपस्मार — कर्मविपाकः
विनायक प्रपन्नार्तिहर विघ्नविनायक ।त्वं देवैः प्रार्थितः पूर्वं विघ्नविघ्नपरायणैः ॥
"O Vinayaka, you take away the pain of those who come to you. O remover of obstacles! In the past the gods asked you for help. They were intent on warding off obstacles.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ब्राह्मणश्वासरोधेन यज्जातं मम वैकृतम् ।
The illness came upon me by choking a Brahmin. It comes from the ripening of an earlier deed. It is epilepsy, madness and the like.
जाड्यं वाप्यथ बाधिर्यं नासिकारोधभाषणम् ।
It may be dullness, or deafness, or a blocked nose and trouble in speech. By the gift of your image, destroy this illness quickly."
इति दानमन्त्रः ।
This is the mantra for the gift.
