Chapter 70 · Vrana: past deeds
व्रण — कर्मविपाकः
ऐरावतश्चतुर्दंतो गजानां नायकः स्वयम् ।दिग्दंतिनां पूज्यतमो व्रणं क्षपयतु प्रभुः ॥
Airavata, the four-tusked one, is himself the leader of the elephants. He is the most worthy of worship among the elephants of the directions. May the lord end the wound.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अनंतरमनुव्रज्य तमाचार्यं मुदान्वितः ।
After that, he should gladly walk a few steps behind that teacher as he leaves. He should feed the priests, and then eat himself, keeping silent.
एवंकृते व्रणव्याधिस्तत्क्षणादेव नश्यति ।
When this is done, the text says the trouble of the wounds goes away at once. All those with wounds should surely do it, for good health.
इति सर्वव्रणघ्नगजदानविधिः ।
This is the rule of the gift of an elephant, said to take away all wounds.
