Chapter 70 · Vrana: past deeds
व्रण — कर्मविपाकः
परव्रतभेदी व्रणकीलकी भवति स कृच्छ्रं कृत्वा आयसं दद्यात् ।
The text says that one who breaks another's vow may be born with vranakilaka (nail-like sores). He should do krichchhra (penance fast) and give something made of iron.
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.
