श्वेतवस्त्रेण संवेष्टच फलैरपि सुकल्पितैः ।गंधपुष्पैः समभ्यर्च्य तंडुलोपरि विन्यसेत् ॥
Wrap it in white cloth and adorn it with well-made fruits. Honour it with scents and flowers, and set it on rice.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
आहूय परया भक्त्या तेन पूजादि कारयेत् ।
Call him with great devotion and have him do the worship. The worship is with the Vedic mantra that begins "vanaspate rashanaya".
