Chapter 42 · Shula: past deeds
शूल — कर्मविपाकः
अर्घ्यादिमूलमंत्रेण षोडशैवोपचारकान् ।क्रियाविद्ब्राह्मणः पूजां कृत्वा होमं प्रकल्पयेत् ॥
With the root mantra, offer the sixteen acts of worship, starting with arghya (water offered in welcome). A priest who knows the rite should do the worship and then arrange the homa (fire offering).
Classical view, not medical advice.
शूलस्य दक्षिणे पार्श्वे स्थंडिलाग्निः प्रणीयते ।
On the right side of the spear, an altar fire is lit on a raised patch of earth. Offer firewood, ghee and sesame with the Vedic mantra that begins…
त्र्यंबकेणाज्यहोमं च विद्वांस्तत्र प्रकल्पयेत् ।
The learned one should also offer ghee with the Tryambaka mantra. Then he offers sesame again with the mantra that begins "yata indra bhayamahe"…
तेनोदकेन चासिंचेच्छूलिनं रोगिणं नरम् ।
With that water, sprinkle the sick person who has colic. Then worship the spear as one can, [to give it] to the one who did the homa (fire offering).
