Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 44
आध्मान-उदावर्त — कर्मविपाकः
This is the Adhmana and Udavarta karmavipaka chapter of Vira Simhavaloka, on the past-life deed the text links to this trouble. The text links these troubles to deeds such as breaking the fields of gods and priests.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The amends are a penance fast, ghee offered with sacred calls, and an offering to a seizing spirit.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Adhmana and Udavarta (bloating and wind) - past deeds
अथाध्मानोदावर्तरोग योः कर्मविपाकमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च । देवद्विजक्षेत्रतडा गवल्मीककूपादीनां यो भेदं करोति तंवायसो नाम ग्रहो गृह्णाति । तत्क्षणमाध्मानी उदावर्त्ती ज्वरी अरुचिमान्पाददाही च जायते।
Next, the text tells the result of past deeds for bloating and wind going upward, and the remedy. The text says: one may break the fields of gods and priests, or tanks, anthills, wells and the like. Then a seizing spirit called Vayasa (the crow) takes hold of him. At once he may get bloating, wind going upward, fever, no wish to eat and burning feet.
Adhmana and Udavarta (bloating and wind) - past deeds
अस्य प्रायश्चित्तं कृच्छ्रमाचरेत्। व्याहृतिभिराज्येन जुहुयात् हिरण्यं च दद्यात् । श्वेतकृष्णपीताद्यनेकवर्णध्वजादिभिर्दीपादिभिः सह प्रदोषे चतुष्पथे बलिं मंत्रेण निदध्यात् ।
To make amends for this, he should keep the krichchhra (penance fast). He should offer ghee with the vyahriti (the sacred calls bhur, bhuvah, svah) words bhur, bhuvah and svah. He should give gold. At dusk, at a crossroads, he should set down a bali (offering to spirits) with the mantra below. He sets it with flags of many colours, such as white, black and yellow, and with lamps.
