Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 56
मेदोरोग — कर्मविपाकः
This Medoroga karmavipaka chapter is very short. The text links a past-life theft of curd to this trouble.
Classical view, not medical advice.
It names the gift of a curd cow to a priest, and a penance fast, to ease it.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Medoroga (excess fat) - past deeds
अथ मेदोरोगस्य कर्मविपाके हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारंचाह ।
Next, the text tells the cause of excess fat in the result of past deeds, and the remedy.
Medoroga (excess fat) - past deeds
दधिचौर्येण पुरुषो जायते मेदसा युतः ।दधिधेनुः प्रदातव्यः तेन विप्राय शुद्धये ॥
The text says a man who stole curd may be born fat. For cleansing, he should give a curd cow to a priest.
Medoroga (excess fat) - past deeds
एवं कृच्छ्रं च कुर्यात् ॥
He should keep the krichchhra (penance fast) as well.
