Chapter 68 · Vidradhi: past deeds
विद्रधि — कर्मविपाकः
अथ विद्रधिरोगस्य कर्मविपाकहेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ॥
Next, the text gives the cause of abscess from past deeds, and its remedy.
Classical view, not medical advice.
विद्रधी फलहर्ता स्यान्मनुष्यो ब्राह्मणस्य तु ।
The text says a man who steals a priest's fruit may get an abscess. I will tell its remedy by gifts, homa (fire offering) and the like.
यथाविभवतो वापि कुर्यादाम्रतरुं शुभम् ॥
As his wealth allows, he should make a good mango tree. It should be smooth, and well shaped all round with its branches.
श्वेतवस्त्रेण संवेष्टच फलैरपि सुकल्पितैः ।
Wrap it in white cloth and adorn it with well-made fruits. Honour it with scents and flowers, and set it on rice.
