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