व्रण — कर्मविपाकः
निदध्याद्विधिवत्प्राज्ञः सर्वव्रणविशुद्धये ।उपचारैः षोडशभिरर्चयेद्गंधपुष्पकैः ॥
The wise one should set it up by the rule, to clear all wounds. He should worship with the sixteen offerings, with scent and flowers.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो ब्राह्मणमाहूय सर्वशास्त्रार्थकोविदम् ।
Then he should call a priest who knows the meaning of all the texts. He should be learned and of good conduct, and trouble no one.
भक्त्या सम्पूज्य वस्त्राद्यैर्होमं तेन च कारयेत् ।
He should honour the priest with devotion, with clothes and the rest. Then he should have him do the homa (fire offering). It is done well with…
चत्वारो दिग्गजा ये च पुष्पदंतादयश्च ये ।
The four elephants of the directions, Pushpadanta and the others, and Sarvabhauma and the rest: with this offering I please them.
