अंत्र-वृषण — कर्मविपाकः
सोपद्रवायां पीडायाम् ब्रह्मणोक्तं च ॥यज्ञे विघ्नकरो मर्त्यो जायते चांत्रवृद्धिमान् ।वक्ष्यामि तत्प्रतीकारं दानहोमादिकर्मणा ॥
When the pain comes with other troubles, Brahma has also said: A man who blocks a sacrifice is born with a hernia. I will tell the remedy, done by gifts, homa (fire offering) and the like.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कुर्यात्स्वर्णमयीं धेनुं शुभां नारायणस्य तु ।
Make a good golden cow of Narayana (Vishnu). Make it of two nishka (gold coin weight), or one, or half of that.
नारायणलक्षणतूक्तं हेमहस्तिरथदाने ।
The marks of Narayana are as told in the gift of a golden elephant and chariot. Wash it with the five products of the cow, and set it on saffron.
श्वेतवस्त्रेण संवेष्टच गंधमाल्यैः समर्चयेत् ।
Wrap it in white cloth. Honour it with scents and garlands, and with sixteen offerings. The teacher should be a Vishnu devotee, and pure.
