Chapter 68 · Vidradhi: past deeds
विद्रधि — कर्मविपाकः
यथाविभवतो वापि कुर्यादाम्रतरुं शुभम् ॥स्निग्धं तथैव शाखाभिः सर्वतः संस्कृतं शुभम्॥
As his wealth allows, he should make a good mango tree. It should be smooth, and well shaped all round with its branches.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तंडुलानां परीमाणं द्रोणानांच चतुष्टयम् ।
The rice should be four dronas (grain measures), or half of that, or as his wealth allows.
आचार्योऽथ विधिज्ञश्च सर्वशास्त्रार्थतत्त्ववित् ।
Call a teacher who knows the rules and the true meaning of all the sacred texts. He should know duty, speak truth, be well born and be respected.
