Chapter 48 · Hridroga: past deeds
हृद्रोग — कर्मविपाकः
तस्य प्रायश्चित्तमेकं प्राजापत्यं कुर्यात् । तदशक्तौ गां सुवर्णं च दद्यात्।उद्यन्नद्येति सूक्तं जपेत् । तिलाज्येन च जुहुयात् । सहस्रनामस्तोत्रं जपेत् । नामत्रयं वा जपेत् कूष्मांडहोमं च कुर्यात् । इति हृद्रोगहरः कर्मविपाकप्रकारः ।
For this he should keep one Prajapatya (a twelve-day penance fast). If he cannot, he should give a cow and gold. He should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the sukta (Vedic hymn) that begins "udyann adya". He should offer sesame and ghee in the fire. He should recite the thousand-names hymn, or repeat the three names. He should also do the Kushmanda homa (fire offering). This is the way, from past deeds, that eases heart trouble.
