Chapter 44 · Adhmana and Udavarta: past deeds
आध्मान-उदावर्त — कर्मविपाकः
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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)…
अनेन मंत्रेण प्रगृह्णीष्व बलिं चेमं वायसाख्य महाग्रह ।
With this mantra: "Great seizer called Vayasa, mighty one, take this bali (offering to spirits). Give the sick person comfort and success."
इत्याध्मानोदावर्त्तरोगहरकर्मविपाकविधिः ॥
This is the method of the remedy for the result of past deeds that eases bloating and wind going upward.
