Chapter 54 · Prameha: past deeds
प्रमेह — कर्मविपाकः
स पिपीलिकामध्यचांद्रायणानि कुर्यात् । इदमापः प्रवहतोदुत्तमं वरुणेत्यादिभिर्मंत्रैर्जपेज्जुहुयाच्च ।
He should keep the pipilikamadhya (ant-shaped) chandrayana (moon-phase fast), thin in the middle like an ant. He should do japa (repeating a mantra) and homa (fire offering). He uses the Vedic mantras that begin "idam apah pravahata" and "ud uttamam varuna".
Classical view, not medical advice.
तिर्यग्गामी प्रमेही शूली स सांतपनानि कुर्यात् । व्याधिगुरुलघुत्वभावेन प्रायश्चित्ते गुरुलघुभावौ द्रष्टव्यौ इति ॥
One who went to an animal may have a urinary disorder and colic. He should keep the santapana (a penance fast with cow products) fasts. The amends…
सर्वप्रमेहेषु वायुपुराणे ।
On all urinary disorders, the Vayu Purana says: One who takes a priest's gold is surely born with a urinary disorder.
ब्राह्मणस्वर्णहरणप्रायश्चित्ताभिप्रायेण नारायणव्याख्यानम् ।
Narayana explains that the amends here are those for taking a priest's gold.
