Chapter 62 · Antra and Vrishana: past deeds
अंत्र-वृषण — कर्मविपाकः
अथ वृषणरोगस्य कर्मविपाके हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च । तत्र स्नुषागामी वातवृषणः । अथ प्रायश्चित्तं आत्मजस्त्रियम् असकृदज्ञानाद्गत्वा चांद्रायणत्रयाच्छुध्येत् । ज्ञानात्सकृद्गमने कृच्छ्राद्वा शुद्धिः । आसामेकां बुद्धिपूर्वकं बहुदिनेषु गत्वा अग्निं प्रविश्य मृतः शुध्येत् ।
Next, the text gives the cause of scrotal illness from past deeds, and its remedy. The text says one who goes to his son's wife may get a scrotum swollen with wind. Now the amends. One who goes to his son's wife again and again, unknowingly, is cleansed by three chandrayanas (moon-phase fasts). One who goes once, knowingly, is cleansed by krichchhra (penance fast). One may go to one of these women on purpose for many days. The text says he is cleansed only by entering fire and dying.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अपरं च अपराधमंतरेण यो नृपो भृत्यादीनां हस्तपादादींश्छेदयति तस्य मुष्कमग्निना दग्धमिव शिलापिष्टमिव वृषणं जायते पश्चादुधिरं स्रवति । स रुद्रसंहितामष्टोत्तरसहस्रं जपेत् । प्रतिरोगंचांद्रायणत्रयं कुर्यात् । गांदद्यात् ।
Also: a king may have the hands, feet and so on of his servants cut off, though they did no wrong. The text says his scrotum may become as if burnt…
जायते वृषणे यस्य व्याधिः परमदारुणः ।
One may get a very hard illness in the scrotum. He is said to be freed by repeating the Rudra Samhita (the Rudra hymns) ten thousand times.
इति विष्णुवचनात् । इति वृषणव्याधिप्रतीकारः ।
So says Vishnu. This is the remedy for scrotal illness.
