श्वयथु — कर्मविपाकः
स इदं वोविश्वतः शरीर इत्यादिना अष्टोत्तरशतायुतत्रयजपं कुर्यात् । आपो हिष्ठामयोभुव इत्यनेन चरुघृताभ्यामष्टोत्तरायुतशतत्रयं होमं कुर्यात् । अत्र व्याधिगुरुलघुभावौ च द्रष्टव्यौ ।
He should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the Vedic mantra that begins "sa idam vo vishvatah sharire". The count words read "one hundred eight, ten thousand, three". This may mean 30,108. He should also do homa (fire offering) of charu (rice offering) and ghee. It is done with the Vedic mantra that begins "apo hi shtha mayobhuvah". Its count words read "eight more, ten thousand, hundred, three". The illness should also be judged as heavy or light here.
