Chapter 54 · Prameha: past deeds
प्रमेह — कर्मविपाकः
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 should be heavier or lighter as the illness is heavier or lighter.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
अथ वृद्धगौतमः ।
Now Vriddha Gautama says: By the earlier rule, make a cow of gold. Give her gold horns, set with gems, and silver hooves.
