Chapter 6 · Grahani: past deeds
ग्रहणी — कर्मविपाकः
अलोलुपाय शान्ताय धर्मज्ञाय विशेषतः ।होमं च पूर्ववत्कुर्यात्समिदाज्यचरूत्कटैः ॥
The priest should be free of greed and calm, and above all should know dharma. The homa (fire offering) is done as before, rich in samidh (sacred firewood), ghee and charu (rice offering).
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्मै हुतवते दद्यात्पूजितायांगुलीयकैः ।
The priest has made the offering and been honoured with rings. To him the sick person should give a black cow. He gives it with this mantra, to him…
देवकीपुत्र चाणूरकंसारिष्टविनाशन ।
"O son of Devaki, destroyer of Chanura, Kamsa and Arishta! O Krishna, who charms the hearts of the gopis (cowherd women)! Take away my grahani."…
मंत्रेणानेन दानेन ग्रहणी शांतिमृच्छति ।
By this mantra and this dana (gift), grahani (bowel trouble) comes to peace. So the one who has grahani should always do this.
