Chapter 34 · Apasmara: past deeds
अपस्मार — कर्मविपाकः
ब्राह्मणश्वासरोधेन यज्जातं मम वैकृतम् ।पूर्वकर्मविपाकेन ह्यपस्मारोन्मदादिकम् ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
चतुर्णां ब्राह्मणानां च यथाशक्त्या च दक्षिणा ।
A fee should be given to the four Brahmins as far as one can. A man who makes this gift of Ganesha in this way becomes happy.
