Chapter 6 · Grahani: past deeds
ग्रहणी — कर्मविपाकः
देवकीपुत्र चाणूरकंसारिष्टविनाशन ।नाशय ग्रहणीं कृष्ण गोपीजनमनोहर ॥इतिदानमन्त्रः ।
"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." This is the mantra for the dana (gift).
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…
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.
इति ग्रहणी हरधेनुदानविधिः ।
This is the rule for the dana (gift) of a cow, which brings peace in grahani (bowel trouble).
