Chapter 38 · Vatarakta: past deeds
वातरक्त — कर्मविपाकः
मंत्रेणानेन तं दद्यात्सर्वलोकनमस्कृतम् ।लक्ष्मीपते देवकिनंदनेश क्षीराब्धिशायिन्वचसामगम्य ॥गोविंद दामोदर वातरक्तं विनाशयाशु क्षपितारिवर्ग ।
He should give the image, which all the world honours, with this mantra. "O Lord of Lakshmi, joy of Devaki, sleeper on the milk ocean, beyond the reach of words! O Govinda, Damodara, destroyer of the host of enemies! Quickly destroy the vatarakta (gout)."
Classical view, not medical advice.
कुंकुमागरुकर्पूरै रुचिरैरंगुलीयकैः ।
He should honour him with saffron, agaru (aloe wood), camphor and fine rings. He should have homa (fire offering) done there in the way told before.
लक्ष्मीनारायणस्यैव मूर्तिं दद्यात्सुभक्तितः ॥
He should give the image of Lakshmi-Narayana with deep devotion. The text says that he becomes free from illness and always happy. It adds that…
इति वातरक्ते लक्ष्मीनारायणदानविधिः ॥
This is the rite of the gift of Lakshmi-Narayana in vatarakta (gout).
