अतीसार — कर्मविपाकः
मंत्रेणानेन विधिवदग्निप्रीत्यर्थमादृतः ।त्रेतारूपोऽग्निरीड्यस्त्वमंतश्चरसि वै नृणाम् ॥त्वं वेत्सि प्राक्तनं पापमतीसारं विनाशय ।
With this mantra, with care and by the rule, to please Agni (the fire god): "Agni, worthy of praise, you take the form of the three sacred fires. You move inside people. You know the wrong done earlier. Make my diarrhoea go."
Classical view, not medical advice.
ब्रह्मचर्यान्विते विप्रे तपोनिष्ठेऽग्निहोत्रिणि ।
He should offer it to a brahmana (priest) who keeps celibacy and is firm in austerity. The priest keeps the sacred fire. He first adorns the priest…
एवं कृत्वा नरः सम्यगतीसारं व्यपोहति ॥
The text says that one who does this well puts diarrhoea away. The person is said to become free of illness and happy, and to gain a long life.
इत्यतीसारहरवह्निमूर्तिदानम् ।
This is the rule for the dana (gift) of an image of Agni (the fire god). It brings peace in diarrhoea.
