Chapter 54 · Prameha: past deeds
प्रमेह — कर्मविपाकः
ब्राह्मणस्वर्णहरणप्रायश्चित्ताभिप्रायेण नारायणव्याख्यानम् ।
Narayana explains that the amends here are those for taking a priest's gold.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तथैव तर्णकं कुर्यादष्टभागेन पूर्ववत् ।
In the same way, make a calf with an eighth part of the gold, as before. The priest should know the Veda, be a Vishnu devotee and have a family.
आचारवन्तं धर्मिष्ठं द्विजशुश्रूषणे रतम् ।
He should be of good conduct and just, and glad to serve the twice-born. Call him to the house and worship him by the rule, as before.
