Chapter 72 · Bhagandara: past deeds
भगंदर — कर्मविपाकः
सहिरण्यं वस्त्रं रत्नधान्यादिभूमिं ब्राह्मणेभ्यो भोजनं च दद्यात् । ततो रोगान्मुक्तो भवति।
He should give gold, cloth, jewels and grain, and land to priests, and feed priests. Then, the text says, he is freed from the illness.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दुष्टव्रणानामप्येवं पद्मपुराणे ।
The same holds for bad wounds, in the Padma Purana: One who goes to his teacher's wife may get fistula.
यथाह वृद्धबोधायनो गौतमश्च ।
As Vriddha Bodhayana and Gautama say: Ruby, padmaraga (a red gem), diamond, cat's-eye, pearl, pushyaraga (a yellow gem), and a good emerald.
हरितं च नवैतानि स्वर्णपात्रोपरि न्यसेत् ।
And a green one. These nine he should place on a gold plate. Or [he may use] a silver or copper one. He should worship the planets with mantras.
